Install rsyslog in Fedora9

From rsyslog wiki

rsyslog Install

This is an example for an install in Fedora9. First, you need to download the version you want to run. Obtain it from the rsyslog download page:

http://www.rsyslog.com/Downloads-index-req-viewdownload-cid-1-orderby-dateD.phtml

After downloading you have to unzip your rsyslog data. Open a terminal and switch to your new folder of rsyslog

/home/.../Download/rsyslog-3....

To start the configure

./configure --enable-gnutls --libdir=/lib --sbindir=/sbin

--enable-gnutls = compile TLS modul

Note that there are a lot of more modules. check ./configure --help to see what options else you need to obtain to get the desired result

and (important!)

--libdir=/lib --sbindir=/sbin -> path for install

Without these paths your rsyslog does not work correctly. It would copy the files into the wrong locations upon install. The net effect would be that even you did a "make install", nothing would have been installed, at least not in a usable way ;)

Now there are two more steps to actually install rsyslog:

make
make install

That's it!

To finish your install you have to restart your rsyslog service.
