I suggest you use RPM, since you're using redhat. In the redhat squid
rpm package, the log rotation is taken care of by logrotate, and there
is a SysVinit start script available. Attached is my rpm SPEC file
based on the squid SRPMS that comes with redhat 6.2, with the latest
bug fixes applied. You might have to edit the "configure" line to
enable Async-IO.
