Nagios Support Forum

I got reply from IBM. Per instructions I installed the krb5.toolkit.1.4.0.7.I. The toolkit had installed the following files:
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
krb5.toolkit.adt 1.4.0.7
/usr/include/gssapi/gssapi_krb5.h
/usr/include/ibm_svc/krb5kdc.h
/usr/include/gssapi/gssapi_generic.h
/usr/include/k5profile.h
/usr/include/ibm_svc/krb5_svc.h
/usr/include/ibm_svc
/usr/include/ibm_svc/krb5adm.h
/usr/include/com_err.h
/usr/include/gssapi/gssapi.h
/usr/include/gssapi
/usr/include/krb5.h
/usr/include/kadm5
/usr/include/kadm5/admin.h
/usr/include/kdb_types.h
/usr/include/ibm_svc/krb5krb.h
/usr/include/ibm_svc/krb5vdb.h
/usr/include/ibm_svc/krb5utl.h
/usr/include/ibm_svc/krb5gss.h


So I executed the ./configure command. Still getting the following error:
checking for main in -lwrap... no
checking for strdup... yes
checking for strstr... yes
checking for strtoul... yes
checking for initgroups... yes
checking for closesocket... no
checking for socklen_t... yes
checking for type of socket size... size_t
checking for SSL headers... SSL headers found in /usr
checking for SSL libraries... SSL libraries found in /usr/lib

Any suggestions as to which Kerberos include files are not found?

I would like to thank the support team for their patience and guidance.

Did you make sure the new (ibm supplied) files were in your path before compile?
Is kerberos support necessary in your environment? It should still compile without them.

I do have the /usr/include in the $PATH. Here is the output:
echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/etc:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/tools/bin:/usr/lpp/X11/Lib:/usr/lpp/ssp/bin:/usr/vac/bin:/usr/local/etc:/usr/local/scripts:/usr/include

What are the include files, the nagios configure process is looking for? In my environment, krb5 is used. Thanks.

krb5 is supported by nrpe and is the assumed implementation of kerberos in the nrpe's installer.
