Hi All,

I have one RHEL 6.0 server. When i was trying to install nrpe agent on the server. i'm getting some errors..

errors are..
I am doing the installation by referring the standard document provided by nagios

Download following files from Nagios.org and move to /home/downloads:
• nagios-plugins-1.4.11.tar.gz
• nrpe-2.12.tar.gz
2. Create nagios account
[remotehost]# useradd nagios
[remotehost]# passwd nagios
3. Install nagios-plugin
[remotehost]# cd /home/downloads
[remotehost]# tar xvfz nagios-plugins-1.4.11.tar.gz
[remotehost]# cd nagios-plugins-1.4.11
[remotehost]# export LDFLAGS=-ldl

[remotehost]# ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios --enable-redhat-pthread-workaround
[remotehost]# make
[remotehost]# make install



after executing ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios --enable-redhat-pthread-workaround ,

when i am doing #make command

it is showing the following errors..

Our doc is a bit dated with the version numbers. Try this again with NRPE 2.15 and Plugins 2.0:
