Can you verify that automake is installed on your system?

If it is, you may have to add the path to automake to your PATH environmental variable.

[root@pccdcaus nagios-plugins-release-2.1.1]# which automake1.11
/usr/bin/which: no automake1.11 in (/usr/bin:/opt/IBMJava2-131/bin:/opt/IBMJava2-131/jre/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/uni/atech/services/bin:/usr/uni/atech/services/tools:/usr/uni/atech/agents/bin:/root/bin:/root/usr/bin/automake:/root/usr/bin)

[root@pccdcaus nagios-plugins-release-2.1.1]# cd /usr/bin
[root@pccdcaus bin]# ls automake
automake

[root@pccdcaus nagios-plugins-release-2.1.1]# echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/opt/IBMJava2-131/bin:/opt/IBMJava2-131/jre/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/uni/atech/services/bin:/usr/uni/atech/services/tools:/usr/uni/atech/agents/bin:/root/bin:/root/usr/bin/automake:/root/usr/bin
[root@pccdcaus nagios-plugins-release-2.1.1]# make
cd . && automake-1.11 --gnu
/bin/sh: automake-1.11: command not found
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
[root@pccdcaus nagios-plugins-release-2.1.1]#

Can you post your Makefile from that folder so we can review it?
Can you run the following and post back the results?

Please find attached Makefile and output of which command :

[root@xxxx nagios-plugins-2.1.1]# which automake
/usr/bin/automake
[root@xxxx nagios-plugins-2.1.1]#

At this point I am going to have to ask that we wait until @tgriep is back in the office, which should be tomorrow. Truthfully HP-UX is one of the "gray area" systems in terms of support, though Tom seemed to have an idea of what is going on. If you don't hear back by tomorrow mid-day (Central) feel free to post back asking for an update.

Edit your Makefile and change this line from to Then try running make again to see if they compile.

Make file changes wont work. I suggested client to upgrade the OS to Linux. We can close this post...
