This is because the ivykis shipped with 3.3 does not support hpux. There
are a couple of ways to work around this:

- You can use syslog-ng 3.4.0rc2, which includes an updated ivykis

- You can download ivykis separately (I suggest using 0.36.1[1]),
  installing it, and using --with-ivykis=system when configuring
  syslog-ng.

   [1]: https://github.com/buytenh/ivykis/archive/v0.36.1.tar.gz

- You can also patch ivykis, but that's probably the least
  straightforward option. Do let me know if you're interested in doing
  that, though, and I'll give a link to the few patches you'll likely
  need.
