Anyone using syslog-ng on RHEL 5?

[jeff murphy]

Configure isn't looking for libraries... it's just asking pkg-config  
if eventlog is installed and if the installed version is greater than  
the minimum required.

pkg-config --list-all | grep event

If it doesn't list eventlog, then you need to install it.
