install on Fedora not working

[mcannet]

I'm new to Fedora(linux) so forgive me for not knowing things I probably should. Anyway, I'm trying to get Nagios Core and plugins installed on Fedora. I'm following the quickstart guide. All steps are working fine, except when I got to the part to run make init, i found a work-a-round on this post by author magnifor.

However, when I go to run the make install-config command I get the error message in the attached picture.

Again, I don't know much about linux/fedora - so hand holding is something I'll need. But I do appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks.

I'm hoping somebody out there can help out. Still stuck here. I have even gone so far to wipe out my Fedora install and started clean. Downloaded Nagios core as per quickstart guide for Fedora. I'm still getting stuck on the make install-config command. I attempted to just move on and on the next step of the quick start quide, "make install-webconf" and I get identical error message. Essentially NONE of the sample config files are installed and I don't know how to correct this? Can anyone help?

more information, when running the ./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd I get the attached as part of the output

I'm suspicious that you're missing some of the prerequisite packages. Am I reading that right in that you don't have perl installed? Check on the required prerequisite packages and make sure those are installed first, that might get you through it better.

I installed all packages as per the quickstart guide. Using yum to install them. What can I do to check if Perl is installed and if not, how to install?

Code: Select all

yum install perl

Fedora 12 may have some things missing, I noticed for Fedora 13 there were some packages like (wget) that didn't come installed by default on Fedora but they do on most other distros.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it. That was the issue, I'm on my way now, thank you. yum install perl was the answer.
