Hi,

Please find the attached output of configure.

I tried running the command with -Fvde along with -f, but it says
"excess number of args". Can you tell me if I missed anything here.?
A02-LEM-CSLPN01A# /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng -f -Fvde
/export/home/root/syslog_conf/mod/syslog-ng_client.conf
Excess number of arguments

Thanks
Hithendra

Could you post the output of configure, or config.log, perhaps?

Also, you can try running syslog-ng with the -Fvde parameters (in
addition to -f), which will output quite a lot of debug info to stderr,
which might help us determine what's going wrong.
