I will definitely give it a shot then! Thanks!
Do you have a similar version for Ubuntu?

We do not have a scripted install for ubuntu like we do for rhel. However you can install from source or via package\ppa without issue!

Not necessarily, as our defualt agent installer only support the rhel derivatives. There is a ppa for ubuntu, but it is a little dated:

OK, so I created a new clone of my production server that I want to monitor, and followed the agent installation process, which worked fine, no errors.
All I needed to do in addition to the automatic process was to add entries for 127.0.0.1 and localhost to the "only_from" field in the /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file.
Now I can successfully run "./usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost":
[root@server libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H localhost
NRPE v2.14
You guys rock, as per usual!
I'll try the PPA for my Ubuntu installs and see what happens... : )
Thanks again!!
