NRPE compiling and installing on AIX 5

[prasoon_bansal]

Hi All,

I am trying to install nrpe agent binaries (AIX-5.3-nrpe-2.12-binaries) along with nagios plugin (aix53_nrpe-nsca-plugins.tar) on AIX5.2 (5200-10). while executing the command as "root" and "nagios" user for startup nrpe agent as daemon gives a error listed below;

# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ -n -d
Could not load program /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe:
Symbol resolution failed for nrpe because:
Symbol __fd_select (number 42) is not exported from dependent
module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o).
Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command.

Could anyone help to resolve this issue? How do i deploy nrpe agent on AIX5.2 server?

Do you have any output from the configure or make steps? It certainly seems that the build would have errored out along the build process. Specifically it looks like your version of libc.a is not exporting file descriptor functions that nrpe needs.

issue for installation is now resolved. But now facing another issue. I am trying to put client based monitoring parameters but it is not reflecting to main HTML pages. Could anyone help to set the monitoring parameters based on client? and let me know the changes that have to made in *cfg files also.

Well, what exactly is the issue? We need to know what checks are failing, what their output is, as well as see a copy of the remote host's nrpe.cfg file. Thanks!
