NRPE compiling and installing on AIX 7.1

[akrishnan]

Hello,

I downloaded the nrpe code (2.15). When I compile and install on AIX (v7.1) platform, which directories are used when "make install" command is executed? I used the defaults. I see the /usr/local/nagios directory being used. Besides this default directory, which are the other directory/directories are used?

Thanks,
Krishnan

/usr/local/nagios is where everything should be installed to.

Thanks for the reply. I requested the information since I get a weird error when I start the nrpe deamon. The error message is below:

/etc# exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.1) could not be loaded.
0509-152 Member libcrypto.so.1.0.1 is not found in archive


Please note that I used the following command to start the nrpe daemon:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -n -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg -d &

Is openSSL installed on this system?

[akrishnan]

Yes. I do have the following packages installed:
openssl.base
openssl.man.en_US
openssl.base
openssh.base.client
openssh.base.server
openssh.man.en_US
openssh.msg.EN_US
openssh.msg.en_US
openssh.base.client
openssh.base.server

Can you provide the output of the following if you are running 64 bit:

Code: Select all

ls -la /lib64/libcrypt*
ls -la /usr/lib64/libcrypt*
ls -la /usr/lib64/.libcrypt*
ls -la /lib64/.libcrypt*

Or if you are running 32 bit:

Code: Select all

ls -la /lib/libcrypt*
ls -la /usr/lib/libcrypt*
ls -la /usr/lib/.libcrypt*
ls -la /lib/.libcrypt*

AIXv7.x is 64 bit kernel but has 32 bit related libraries too:

/home/root# ls -la /lib64/libcrypt*
ls: 0653-341 The file /lib64/libcrypt* does not exist.

/home/root# ls -la /usr/lib64/libcrypt*
ls: 0653-341 The file /usr/lib64/libcrypt* does not exist.


/home/root# ls -la /lib64/.libcrypt*
ls: 0653-341 The file /lib64/.libcrypt* does not exist.


/home/root# ls -la /lib64/.libcrypt*
ls: 0653-341 The file /lib64/.libcrypt* does not exist.


For the 32bit part:
/home/root# ls -la /lib/libcrypt*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 11575 Apr 12 2011 /lib/libcrypt.a
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root system 5184466 Mar 12 2013 /lib/libcrypto.a


/home/root# ls -la /usr/lib/libcrypt*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 11575 Apr 12 2011 /usr/lib/libcrypt.a
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root system 5184466 Mar 12 2013 /usr/lib/libcrypto.a

/home/root# ls -la /usr/lib/.libcrypt*
ls: 0653-341 The file /usr/lib/.libcrypt* does not exist.

/home/root# ls -la /lib/.libcrypt*
ls: 0653-341 The file /lib/.libcrypt* does not exist.

Hmm, lets do the following next:

Use your favorite package manager on the AIX server to remote openssh, and openssl-devel, and then re-install them. Make sure they install with no errors, and then recompile NRPE for good measure, this time, please record all the commands you run, and the directories you are in so we can see how you are doing it.

Locking due to necros.
