[syslog-ng] syslog-ng 3.7.1 OSE compile error

[Evan Rempel]

I'm not 100% sure but when we build our packages our configure looks like:

   ./configure --prefix=%{_prefix} --libdir=%{_libdir} 
--with-module-dir=%{_libdir}/syslog-ng --mandir=%{_mandir} 
--infodir=%{_prefix}/share/info \
   --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir}/syslog-ng 
--localstatedir=/var/lib/syslog-ng \
   --enable-pcre \
   --enable-json \
   --disable-python \
   --with-java \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=%{_libdir}/pkgconfig:%{_prefix}/share/pkgconfig:/lib64/pkgconfig:/lib/pkgconfig 
\
   --disable-tcp-wrapper \


so we set PKG_CONFIG_PATH on the configure command line.

his looks similar to what you have done. Did you perhaps forget to 
"export" the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
