[syslog-ng] Syntax error due to include files in syslog-ng.conf

[Ritesh Sood]

Hi Baszi,

thanks for your mail. Although i would very much like to contribute to  
the community by testing out the binary installer, I'm not in a  
position to do that. Our server-client machines  is a pretty  
heterogenous mix of linux distributions and on top of that, different  
releases among distributions. Second, due to the way the network has  
evolved over the years,  the installed files are distributed in  
somewhat non-standard way. So I have no option but to compile from  
source.

Thanks again for the info.

Ritesh
