For the record: the reason -f -Fvde $CFGFILE didn't work is because -f
expects an argument. Using -fFvde, or -Fvde -f $CFGFILE will work, on
the other hand, as you figured out.

request_init() appears to be something within the tcp wrapper libs (ie,
libnet). However, from the configure output you sent earlier:

| checking for LIBNET... no

This means that tcp wrappers should not be enabled at all, and the code
that calls request_init() should not be enabled, either.

Can you check if your config.h contains something like:

/* Enable TCP wrapper support */
#define ENABLE_TCP_WRAPPER 1

If it does, remove that line, and recompile syslog-ng, and see if that
helps (I believe it should).

How it can end up enabled while libnet wasn't found, though.. that's
a tough question. But lets see first if this is the problem at all.
