I'm installing NRPE V3.0.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 following steps from 'NRPE - How To Install NRPE v3 From Source':
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=515
The machine is:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
When I run this command:
Ubuntu 15.x, 16.x
I get this error:
Code: Select all
o init file to install
Makefile:93: recipe for target 'install-init' failed
make: *** [install-init] Error 1
The configuration seems okay:
Code: Select all
sudo ./configure --enable-command-args --with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
Results in:
Code: Select all
.....
*** Configuration summary for nrpe 3.0.1 09-08-2016 ***:
General Options:
-------------------------
NRPE port: 5666
NRPE user: nagios
NRPE group: nagios
Nagios user: nagios
Nagios group: nagios
Review the options above for accuracy. If they look okay,
type 'make all' to compile the NRPE daemon and client
or type 'make' to get a list of make options.
If you need more information please let me know.
Any help is appreciated.

What's the output of
sestatus ? It's fine if it's not installed. Do you have any modified sudoers?
What's the output of
ls -la /lib/systemd/ ? I'm thinking there is some sort of permissions issue going on. Are you able to give the root user shell access and try with that user?
Last thing. What's the output of
uname -a ?
I just tried to install on my system and did not run into any issues. Of course, I am running as root, though I did run the sudo commands just to be sure.

Hmm, I haven't been able to replicate this so far. Here's my history:
Code: Select all
38 apt-get install -y autoconf gcc libc6 libmcrypt-dev make libssl-dev wget
39 cd /tmp
40 wget --no-check-certificate -O nrpe.tar.gz https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe/archive/3.0.1.tar.gz
41 tar xzf nrpe.tar.gz
42 cd /tmp/nrpe-3.0.1/
43 ./configure --enable-command-args
44 ./configure --enable-command-args --with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
45 make all
46 make install
47 make install-groups-users
48 make install
49 make install-config
50 sh -c "echo >> /etc/services"
51 sh -c "sudo echo '# Nagios services' >> /etc/services"
52 sh -c "sudo echo 'nrpe 5666/tcp' >> /etc/services"
53 make install-init
54 history
Here's my
make install-init output:
Code: Select all
root@localhost:/tmp/nrpe-3.0.1# make install-init
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 startup/default-service /lib/systemd/system/nrpe.service
That particular recipe isn't doing anything very ambitious. Do you know if there's systemd restrictions on this machine?

No, there is no restrictions. I tried re-installing it again, same problem.
I double checked the permissions, no limited permission either.
Do we need xinetd for nrpe on this box?

Can you attach the Makefile your system generated?

Please try running this from the installtion directory and send us the full output:
Code: Select all
sudo /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 startup/default-service /lib/systemd/system/nrpe.service
Then no need to
make install-init .

There is no output when I run the command above:
Code: Select all
ubuntu@ip-xxx-xx-xx.xx:~/nrpe-downloads/nrpe-3.0.1$ sudo /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 startup/default-service /lib/systemd/system/nrpe.service
ubuntu@ip-xxx-xx-xx-xx:~/nrpe-downloads/nrpe-3.0.1$
It says nrpe is unrecognized service :
Code: Select all
ubuntu@ip-xx-xx-xx-xx:/usr/local/nagios/etc$ sudo service nrpe start
nrpe: unrecognized service
When I test it, I get this:
