Hey all, I'm trying to install Nagios from port on a 9.1 server and it's not working. Here's what I'm seeing (notice the Error code 1 errors at the end of the failed install):
root@FreeNag:/usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios # make install clean

I thought maybe the install was just saying the last three packages were already installed but when I tried to navigate to the Nagios folder it wasn't there. Googling this error doesn't give me anything useful.

I've seen a couple of sites that say v2.68 is broken. Should I head into ports and do a make install clean? I did a portsnap about four days ago.
I noticed the bug reports for the version as well. Please ./configure and make clean.

I went ahead and did the install for bash but no joy. I still get the "Command not found" error when I try to run ./configure. Anyone have any other ideas?
Are you doing ./configure from the nagios source directory or are you attempting to reinstall autoconf? ./configure is usually just located in the root directory of the application you are trying to build and install.
