Haven't got a clue what the heck was the libnet-config you ran, but
definitely not the one syslog-ng expects...

This isn't true... You should install the latest libnet available from
http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet , or even better install a
maintained one shipped by distros which contains bugfixes. On
debian-based distros libnet1-dev is the package which contains
libnet-config.
