Hi. Thanks for responding. The AUR has version 1.4.0. Neither solution worked. No matter what it reads the default logcfg. file. Interestingly, installing directly from source solved the problem. I use the first method to have a separate logcfg.dat. Perfect, thanks! Perhaps the package maintainer will read this.
