Any help would be appreciated.

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

Today I have tried the new version 1.19.10, but unfortunaly the same error exits.

I am the only one with this problem?

I just tried 1.9.10 with gcc 3.3.6 on debian (gcc 3.3.5 is not a current version for neither testing nor stable).

It compiles fine here.

AI_NUMERICSERV is defined in netdb.h (part of package libc6-dev) which is included by omfwd.c. So this error definitely doesn't make sense.

Maybe you should check that you should have libc6-dev installed. If it's installed you might want to try and reinstall it using

apt-get install --reinstall libc6-dev

Thanks for your Reply and Hint.

I just tried 1.9.10 with gcc 3.3.6 on debian (gcc 3.3.5 is not a current version for neither testing nor stable).

This is on Debian Etch wich has gcc 3.3.6 and glibc 2.3.6.

As I can see AI_NUMERICSERV is available since glibc 2.3.4.
Debian Sarge has gcc 3.3.5 with glibc 2.3.2.

Hmm, is there any possibility to get this work on an older glib.

Thanks
Walter

What does AI_NUMERICSERV? Is it the IPV6 stuff?
If I comment it out, it compiles fine. Can I go so far?

Any Hints/Comments woulde be nice.

Walter

Yes, it is related to the new IPv6 APIs. Not all platforms have it. There was a check in syslogd.c, but now omfwd.c also picks it up. I have moved the check to net.h, which should solve the issue. To compile your current version, simply do a define

#define AI_NUMERICSERV 0

at the bottom of net.h. The next version I release will have this (its already in CVS).

Thanks for alerting me.

Rainer

Big THX Rainer, now it compiles fine.

Have I worry about the compiler warnings or can I ignore this?

Walter

These look ok. Interesting how names differ on different platforms. The one that annoys me is "wait", I'll see if I can fix it. The printf format warning is nothing serious (I still need to find a way to convince the compiler of the right format... ). And allowedMethods seems to miss a proper GSSAPI define (I assume you compile without). So you should be OK with what you got. Please let me know if there are any issues.

Rainer

Oh, one thing: If you like rsyslog, I would really appreciate if you could rate it at freshmeat:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/rsyslog/

Rating is a quick process and it helps us get momentum so that others will also become aware of rsyslog. Would be great if you have a minute to do it.

Thanks,
Rainer
