did you successfully compile corosync from source (the upstream corosync
split out logger, named libqb, which can be cloned from
git://github.com/asalkeld/libqb.git)? That is, you need compile libqb
firstly and then corosync.

As a alternative, you can simply install the binary from source instead
of making rpm.
