[syslog-ng] syslog_ng 3.0.7 make fails on RHEL.

[Rakesh Rajasekharan]

Hi,

I am finding no success trying to compile syslog-ng 3.0.7 on the RHEL
machine using the --enable-static-linking mode. I get stuck in the make
stage. I am using GNU gcc 3.4.5 version .Below is the error that appears in
make.


gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..   -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0
-I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include
-I/opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-3.0.7/eventlog/include/eventlog
-D_GNU_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  -g -O2 -Wall -MT
