Install locations for rsyslog

Not everyone uses the same linux distributions. If Linux at all. And some distributions store files different than others. When building a test environment, we stumbled upon the problem, that if we tried the usual know method

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

rsyslog won’t work. Even if there is already rsyslog installed, but we want to use a different version, we will be helpless. Therefore we want to collect a list of different distributions and the different installation paths.

All paths are for 32-Bit operating systems!

Fedora

libdir=/lib
sbindir=/sbin

Ubuntu

libdir=/lib
sbindir=/usr/sbin

CentOS

libdir=/lib
sbindir=/sbin

Debian

libdir=/lib
sbindir=/usr/sbin

If you know of other distributions and the install directories, please send us a notification via the mailing list, so we can add it here.
