I can't install rsyslog on CentOS 3, it gives this error, I tried two CentOS 3 servers, it works OK and CentOS 4 and 5.

It configures OK and then gives the error on make ( I am doing a straight configure, no options):
make[2]: *** [lmnet_la-net.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/rsyslog/rsyslog-3.19.9/runtime'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/rsyslog/rsyslog-3.19.9'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I also tried with the latest version:
make[2]: *** [lmnet_la-net.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/rsyslog/rsyslog-3.21.0/runtime'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/rsyslog/rsyslog-3.21.0'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Does anyone know how to fix this? What package is lmnet_la-net.lo part of?

TIA!

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

The lmnet is an internal utility package (a loadable module for networking support). I guess the problem you are seeing is related to autotools being outdated and thus something missing in the build environment. You can give it a try with "autoreconf -vfi" first and then run configure.
