Have you changed syslog.h for any reason?

find / -name syslog.h
rpm -qf `the file(s)`
rpm -V "the Output of rpm -qf"

For instance:
"rpm -qf /usr/include/sys/syslog.h" gives me 'glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.19'
"rpm -V glibc-headers" gives me nothing, verifying that the rpm is fine.

Another suggestion in a similar thread was to downgrade sys::syslog to 
0.15 (download, untar, perl Makefile.pl, make, make test, make install)
