Description Jason A. Donenfeld gentoo-dev 2013-05-16 11:34:48 UTC 
syslog-ng supports geoip. The ebuild does not have a geoip USE flag that modifies --enable-geoip=yes/no/auto. As such, it will be built depending on the time that libGeoIP.so was built. This is problematic, especially in binary package situations.

This causes nasty error messages such as:

 * Checking your configfile (/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf) ...
Error opening plugin module; module='tfgeoip', error='libGeoIP.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'
 [ ok ]
 * Starting syslog-ng ...
Error opening plugin module; module='tfgeoip', error='libGeoIP.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'


Please add a geoip USE flag that toggles --enable-geoip explicitly.

Reproducible: Always

in portage.  thanks for the bug report.
Comment 2 Yury Katuar 2013-05-18 00:38:11 UTC 
Just failed to re-emerge with geoip flag enabled. Merging fails on configure:

checking for JSON_C... yes
checking for GEOIP... no
configure: error: Could not find libgeoip, and geoip support was explicitly enabled.


This is from /var/tmp/portage/app-admin/syslog-ng-3.4.1/work/syslog-ng-3.4.1/config.log:

configure:14346: checking for GEOIP

Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-05-19 05:28:36 UTC

> use geoip-1.5.0

That's exactly the version I mentioned above.
Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-05-19 05:42:26 UTC 
builds fine for me on stable amd64.
