NRPE compilation error

[mutts]

Can't seem to find a dedicated NRPE support forum, so I hope posting here isn't inappropriate.

I'm trying to compile NRPE 2.15 on CentOS 6.4 with ./configure --disable-ssl. This works without errors.

But:

Code: Select all

[root@nagios nrpe-2.15]# make all
cd ./src/; make ; cd ..
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tim/scratch/nrpe-2.15/src'
gcc -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I ../include -I ./../include -o nrpe ./nrpe.c ./utils.c ./acl.c  -lnsl -lwrap  
./nrpe.c:103: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token
./nrpe.c:1799: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token
make[1]: *** [nrpe] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tim/scratch/nrpe-2.15/src'

*** Compile finished ***

If the NRPE daemon and client compiled without any errors, you
can continue with the installation or upgrade process.

Read the PDF documentation (NRPE.pdf) for information on the next
steps you should take to complete the installation or upgrade.

Line 103 of nrpe.c:

Code: Select all

void complete_SSL_shutdown( SSL *);

and 1799:

Code: Select all

void complete_SSL_shutdown( SSL *ssl) {

NRPE compiles just fine if I leave the --disable-ssl flag off, but that's not an option I want to get into right now.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Nope, here is fine

SSL really is easy to implement for what it is worth. This may be a bug with 2.15. I have a 6.4 test box I will try it out on shortly. Do you even have openssl installed?

Code: Select all

yum list installed | grep openssl

Thanks for the reply.

I do have openssl installed:

Code: Select all

[root@nagios var]# yum list installed | grep openssl
openssl.x86_64                       1.0.0-27.el6_4.2                 @update   
openssl-devel.x86_64                 1.0.0-27.el6_4.2                 @update

Bug confirmed. Please open a bug report at: http://tracker.nagios.org. Post the link to the bug here and I will make sure to assign it to our nrpe dev.

Cool, first time I've ever discovered a bug.

My report is http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=505

Thanks

Great! I assigned Eric to the task. For now, either compile with ssl, or roll back to a previous version of nrpe.

I had the same error with 2.14.

Code: Select all

sudo make all
cd ./src/; make ; cd ..
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/nagios/nrpe-2.14/src'
gcc -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I ../include -I ./../include -o nrpe ./nrpe.c ./utils.c ./acl.c  -lnsl

2.13 seemed to compile fine for me.

Code: Select all

sudo make all
cd ./src/; make ; cd ..
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/nagios/nrpe-2.13/src'
gcc -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o nrpe nrpe.c utils.c acl.c  -lnsl

Thanks for the information, I would tack on to the tracker ticket as well as updates should come through there.
