============================================================================
POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE
============================================================================

Your name : Jim Mercer
Your email address : jim(at)reptiles(dot)org

Category : install: compile
Severity : serious

Summary: difficulty enabling USE_SYSLOG

System Configuration
--------------------
Operating System : FreeBSD 2,3

PostgreSQL version : 6.5,6.5.1

Compiler used : gcc

Hardware:
---------
Pentium

Versions of other tools:
------------------------
standard

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem Description:
--------------------
the flag USE_SYSLOG is defined in config.h, which is
created by configure.
the configure script does not know about USE_SYSLOG, however, i believe it knows about syslog in general
(ie it knows if there is a syslog(), and hence can enable based on that)
the documentation talks about syslog, but does not list a procedure for enabling it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test Case:
----------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solution:
---------
change configure to enable USE_SYSLOG if syslog facilities are available.
