In the setup you have as we discussed off forum, I believe this was caused by the NRPE installer not being able to access the RH repo to install the items required.

Also, for completeness for others in this situation I decided to post some of the other options for checks that do not use NRPE

Monotoring Linux Using SNMP
http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... using-snmp

Check by ssh
http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... -using-ssh

All of the main check plugins can be downloaded from
