I had permissions errors on this part. What would be the solution?

@nickanderson1982, Please run this command to give permissions to all files in this folder:

chmod -R 777 /tmp/nagios-plugins-release-2.2.1/

And then rerun the installation commands.

[nickanderson1982]

I ran the command you gave me, still running into the same results.

@nickanderson1982, What is the output of this command?

ls -l /tmp/nagios-plugins-release-2.2.1/tools/setup

Are you sure you're running this as root? Are there any security policies on this server? Is SELINUX enabled?
Run:

sestatus

OR

getenforce

This is the same problem you were having with your install of nagios, your system doesn't let you execute in /tmp
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 71#p274470

Do the following:

Code: Select all

mv /tmp/nagios-plugins-release-2.2.1 ~/
cd ~/nagios-plugins-release-2.2.1
./tools/setup
./configure
make
make install
