rsyslogd doesn't start

[aswd]

rsyslogd output:

# rsyslogd -d -n

4095.415176527:7ffc195bf700: rsyslogd 5.8.6 startup, compatibility mode 0, module path '', cwd:/home/aswd
Error during class init for object 'rsyslog runtime' - failing...
rsyslogd initializiation failed - global classes could not be initialized.
Did you do a "make install"?
Suggested action: run rsyslogd with -d -n options to see what exactly fails.
rsyslogd run failed with error 22 (see rsyslog.h or try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/-22 to learn what that number means)

dmesg:

$ dmesg|grep rsyslog
[ 16.870399] init: rsyslog main process ended, respawning

I did as suggested in the message and got:
