Unable to install Nagios Plug ins on HP UX 11.11

[shankar!]

Hi,

We’re using HP-UX 11.11 on HP RP 3440 server. I am trying to install Nagoios Plug-ins software to monitor the local resources through Nagios Server (which is installed on Red Hat Linux). As per the instructions, I downloaded the Nagios Plugin source code and then execute the following command

./configure –prefix=/client/nagios, and then make install. But when I execute ./configure –prefix=/client/nagios; I received some errors.

Thanks

The "socklen_t" is part of netdb.h include file. Could you see if you have this include in your box. "/usr/include" dir.
regards.

Hello,

yes, the file is in the include directory

-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 22110 Sep 3 2003 /usr/include/netdb.h

Thank you!

I still have the same problem. I was looking at nagios forum and found that some people says that I must need glibc library installed for supporting some of the c functions like SNPRINTF(). I have no idea how to install and where to find that.

yes, I have the following

bash-3.2# ls -l /usr/include/netdb.h
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 22110 Sep 3 2003 /usr/include/netdb.h


Please suggest..
Thanks

Hi Asam,

I have just compiled nagios-plugins-1.4.12 on B.11.11 PARISC with the HP ANSI C compiler
without any problems.
However, since I haven't got installed net-snmp, MySQL or PostgreSQL on my build box
I explicitly gave the configure appropriate --without-* options.
I linked plugins which are known to use SSL like check_http against the libs of my OpenSSL installation which I got from HP's InternetExpress suite (I would have to flag this as a prerequisite)
If you are interested I could bundle my build in a depot file that you could try to swinstall on your box.

Hello,

i have successfully compiled the Nagios plugins withe the following settings:

LDFLAGS='-lcl -lpthread'

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/opt/langtools/lib:/ente01x_d1/home/nagios/src/nagios-plugins-1.4.12/gl

CCOPTS=+d

Hi Ralph,

Thank you for your time to response to this thread. I've already installed nagios plugins on HP UX v1 just fine. But the problem is with nrpe add-ons. I could not install nrpe as this reports could not find ssl libraries. hence i installed nrpe without-ssl.

If you have already compiled nrpe with ssl support on HP ?UX v1, then kindly provide the compiled binaries to me so I can use them.

Thanks
