Nagios Support Forum

I have just upgraded from 3.5 to 4.0.2, and noticed that whenever I go to my maps, trends of histogram, I get failure messages, specifically "Error: Could not read object configuration data!".

As I was looking around, I noticed that none of these files were updated when I built the new nagios core. They all have a date stamp of March, not today.

Looking in the cgi source directory, I see that none of these 3 files have been built.

Is there an error in the Makefile that is stopping these modules from being built? As I look through the build spam, I don't even see these three modules being referenced.

No those all should definitely be created, what os are you running on, and what commands for ./configure and make did you run?

I did:

./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd

make all
make install

I also tried make install-cgi, but that didn't do anything different.

It seems really puzzling that those modules didn't build at all..

O/S info;

uname -a
Linux nagios 2.6.38-16-generic-pae #67~lucid1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 7 18:39:12 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux

Are you sure you have all the necessary dependencies? The maps will not build if packages like gd and its associated dependencies are not available. Can you attach a log of the compile to you next post?

So.. It was indeed GD that was missing. I had missed a warning message in the information that ./configure produced.

It was an ubuntu install, so it was a pretty simple matter to apt-get install libgd2-xpm-dev, reboot, and the build worked flawlessly after that!

Thanks,
Richard.

Awesome glad its working! Locking this up then.
