Nagios Core Installation - Make all Command Error

[johnadena01]

Hello All,

We are currently planning to install the latest version of Nagios Core (v4.2.2) in one of our servers. However upon, executing make all command, we encountered the error below.

/applications/nagios>make all
cd ./base && make
cc -qlanglvl=extc89 -Wall -I.. -g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNSCORE -c -o nagios.o nagios.c
cc: 1501-210 command option Wall contains an incorrect subargument
make: The error code from the last command is 40.


Stop.
make: The error code from the last command is 2.


Stop.

Would you kindly help us with this? Thanks in advance.

What is the OS/Architecture of the machine you are attempting to install Nagios Core on?

Hello,

We are currently using IBM AIX 7.1 (64-bit).

What is the OS/Architecture of the machine you are attempting to install Nagios Core on?

Currently, we do not support AIX installs. There is an open issue on github: https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/ncpa/issues/258

That said, we can leave this open for community feedback. Maybe someone has it working.

There are a bunch of free-as-in-beer (gratis) Linux (and BSD!) distributions on which Nagios Core currently runs. I don't see an obvious way to run Linux in a VM on AIX, but if this is something that would interest you, I can do more research.

Hello dwhitfield,

Thanks for the information. For follow-up question, do you know-by any chance-what is the latest version of Nagios Core that is available for installation in AIX servers?

For your suggestion, I will still need to coordinate this internally with our team. But thanks for this.

PS: We are currently using Nagios Core v3.2.0 and we're just planning on upgrading it to the latest version compatible.

I don't think any version has ever worked on AIX 7.1. Some older versions appear to work on 6.1, although I don't think that was ever supported in any sense.

To be clear, the latest version will monitor AIX.

Hello,

Hmmm.. this is weird since we are currently using Nagios Core v3.2.0 in our AIX server v7.1.0... Nonetheless, you've mentioned below that some older versions of Nagios core is working on 6.1 AIX. Do you know which versions are this (probably higher than Nagios Core v3.2.0/preferably Nagios Core v4.x)? I just wanna try it if it will work on our server.

PS: Thank you so much for helping. I really appreciate this.

So, it looks like 3.2.0 is the latest: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/D ... IX/details

Unfortunately, all I can do at this point is point you to the github page. Of course, if you get it working, we can build that into a later version of Core. The installs work on Solaris and BSD, so it isn't completely Linux-based.

Again, I don't know much about virtualization on AIX, but it looks like it should be possible: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/clou ... e-powervm/
