To discover the name of the system logging daemon configuration-file, the 
configure script uses the autoconf(1) AC_CHECK_FILE macro, which tests to see 
if the given file is readable. If the protections on the file do not allow the 
LDM user to read it, then the configure(1) script will act as if the file 
doesn't exist.

You can verify this by searching for the string "checking for /etc/syslog.conf" 
in the configure(1) output-file "config.log". I suspect the configure script 
didn't find the file.

Can you make the file "/etc/syslog.conf" readable by the LDM user?
