Nagios on XenServer 5.5

[abrist]

Lets find out what RHEL 4 named the gcc package:

Code: Select all

yum search gcc

What architecture (32/64/ppc/etc) is the base xen system running on?

[brianweeks22]

[root@XenHost8 opt]# yum search gcc
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
================================================== Matched: gcc ==================================================
compat-libstdc++-33.i386 : Compatibility standard C++ libraries
libgcc.i386 : GCC version 4.1 shared support library
libstdc++.i386 : GNU Standard C++ Library
libtermcap.i386 : A basic system library for accessing the termcap database.

Sorry.. here is the answer to the rest of your question

[root@XenHost8 opt]# uname -a
Linux XenHost8 2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs6.0.2.542.170665xen #1 SMP Tue Jan 17 15:14:24 EST 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Seems most likely that you are missing a repo or two that are needed for gcc. You are just showing some library's associated with it. How about "yum repolist all"

[brianweeks22]

[root@XenHost8 opt]# yum repolist all

Hmmm. Any reason why you have CentOS 5 repos and a RHEL 4 kernel?
Another question: Any reason why the "base CentOS-5" repo is disabled?

[brianweeks22]

I do not know the answer to this... I set up new xenservers and they linked w/nagios farily easy.

this is one of our older machines that was set-up by a previous sys admin.

I imagine he just used the xenserver installation CD? but from what I see, it looks like he may have done more?

I have to step into a meeting for 1 hour.. feel free to post any suggestions and I will comment on them in 1 hour!

Thank you again for your time and patience!

You are certainly welcome, definitely glad to hear the other ones worked much easier! Enabling the repos shouldn't be too hard. Do the following commands although you may find some name differences:

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
change the [base] and [updates], enable line to enable=1
yum repolist all - [should now list base CentOS-3 as enabled]
yum update
yum install gcc

See how that's doing for us.

we're getting a little bit further:

i completed your last instructions... then ran ./configure --enable-SSL and it ran further than before, but ended with the error shown below:

I installed openssl devel

then installed make..

then re-ran ./configure --enable-ssl

it completed

*** Configuration summary for nrpe 2.14 12-21-2012 ***:

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.

[root@XenHost8 nrpe-2.14]# make all
cd ./src/; make ; cd ..
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/nrpe-2.14/nrpe-2.14/src'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/nrpe-2.14/nrpe-2.14/src'

*** Compile finished ***

If the NRPE daemon and client compiled without any errors, you
can continue with the installation or upgrade process.

Read the PDF documentation (NRPE.pdf) for information on the next
steps you should take to complete the installation or upgrade.

what do you suggest as the next step?

Thanks Again
