The drawback to RHEL is that they don't change versions from the time they
release the software. rsyslog 3.x was fairly current when RHEL 5.0 was released
5-7 years ago, but now it's just not reasonable.
The problem is that Red Hat likes to freeze the versions close to a year before
the release. This means that RHEL 7 is probably going to have a rsyslog 6.x
included in it, even though by the time RHEL is released, all versions older
than 7.x will probably be unsupported.
When you run RHEL, you need to think carefully about what you are looking to
have the systems do. For most software on the systems, the old versions (with
backported security fixes) are perfectly acceptable, but there is always going
to be a handfule of packages that make up the critical functionality of your
system, and for those you really should plan to manage them outside of the RHEL
pace.

Wow. Thanks all. Sad that the official RHEL repository is so far behind...
I'll see about linking to the rsyslog repository.

On a RHEL 5 system I have an existing server where I have basic UDP and

adding the librelp packages I get an error from rsyslog complaining that it
can't open imrelp.so. In fact there is no imrelp.so* anywhere on the
system?.
Sticking to standard yum install packages, since although this is the server,
I'm going to need to setup RELP clients on 500+ systems, and I need this to be
as standardized as possible.
rsyslog 3.22 is downright ancient
Oops... I overlooked that. Yeah, could very probably be no relp in that version.

(7.4 is due to be released in a week or so).
You really should go with newer packages (It's very possible that RHEL5
packages don't include relp support)
I believe that in RHEL5.9 or 5.10 they added a new, optional rsyslog package
that is 5.x, still old, but much better than 3.22
In addition to that option, there are CentOS/RHEL packages at
http://www.rsyslog.com/rhelcentos-rpms/ Add the appropriate repository
here to your yum configuration and you can then essentually forget that
these aren't in the base RHEL repository.
