Hey all, I'm trying to install Nagios from port on a 9.1 server and it's not working. Here's what I'm seeing (notice the Error code 1 errors at the end of the failed install):

Code: Select all

root@FreeNag:/usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios # make install clean
===>   nagios-3.5.1 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/autoconf-2.69 - not found
===>    Verifying install for /usr/local/bin/autoconf-2.69 in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf
===>  Installing for autoconf-2.69

===>   autoconf-2.69 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.12.4 - found
===>  Checking if devel/autoconf already installed
pkg_add: package 'autoconf-2.69' or its older version already installed
*** [install-package] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf.
*** [build-depends] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios.
*** [install] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios.
root@FreeNag:/usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios #

I thought maybe the install was just saying the last three packages were already installed but when I tried to navigate to the Nagios folder it wasn't there. Googling this error doesn't give me anything useful.

Thanks,

What version of nagios are you trying to install and what documentation are you following?

I'm trying to install Nagios 3.5.1 (that's not from the port but from the install screen) and the documentation is here:

Lets check for the autoconf bin and check its version:

Code: Select all

$(which autoconf) -V

Ok, now I know where autoconf is located but I wasn't able to find its version this way:

Code: Select all

$ (which autoconf) -v
Syntax error: word unexpected
$ (which autoconf) -V
Syntax error: word unexpected
$ which autoconf -v
/usr/local/bin/autoconf
$ which autoconf -V
/usr/local/bin/autoconf
$

Then I decided to try it this way:

Code: Select all

$ autoconf -v
autoconf-2.68: error: no input file
$

I've seen a couple of sites that say v2.68 is broken. Should I head into ports and do a make install clean? I did a portsnap about four days ago.

Thanks,

I noticed the bug reports for the version as well. Please ./configure and make clean.

The whole line was meant to be entered:

Code: Select all

$(which autoconf) -V

Or another method with the backticks:

Code: Select all

`which autoconf` -V

I'm in the autoconf folder in ports but the ./configure didn't work:

Code: Select all

root@FreeNag:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # ./configure
./configure: Command not found.
root@FreeNag:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf #

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

I wonder if you have bash installed. If you don't - try installing it.

Hope this helps.

I went ahead and did the install for bash but no joy. I still get the "Command not found" error when I try to run ./configure. Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks,

Are you doing ./configure from the nagios source directory or are you attempting to reinstall autoconf? ./configure is usually just located in the root directory of the application you are trying to build and install.
