Syslog-ng v2.0 installation error

[canela]

Hello,

I'm trying to install syslog-ng v2.0 and I keep getting this error. Errorlog is installed and the glib libraries too which provide the pkg_config files.

Error messages occur when running "make".

checking for EVTLOG... configure: error: Package requirements (eventlog) were not met:

No package 'eventlog' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables EVTLOG_CFLAGS
and EVTLOG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I've looked on the web and some sites say I should do the following commands prior to running "make", but the errors remain.

# EVTLOG_LIBS=/usr/local/lib/
# export EVTLOG_LIBS

# PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Any thoughts on what could be wrong?

I had this problem when I upgraded Fedora. Try using just the

# PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

and clear out your EVTLOG_LIBS definition. That can be done by logging in and out.

Thanks. That fixed it.
