Here are my notes for installing an earlier version on a CentOS box
with SSL and PostgreSQL support:

  1. sudo yum install gtk2-devel
  2. sudo yum install libdbi-devel
  3. sudo yum install libdbi-dbd-pgsql
  4. wget http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/eventlog/0.2/eventlog_0.2.9.tar.gz
  5. tar zxvf eventlog_0.2.9.tar.gz ; cd eventlog-0.2.9
  6. ./configure && make && sudo make install
  7. cd ..
  8. PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
  9. export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
  10. wget http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/syslog-ng/sources/3.0.4/source/syslog-ng_3.0.4.tar.gz
  11. tar zxvf syslog-ng_3.0.4.tar.gz ; cd syslog-ng-3.0.4
  12. ./configure --enable-ssl --enable-sql
  13. make
  14. sudo make install
