Hi,
We are looking to install NRPE on solaris 9. Looks Nagios don't have any documentation on that. anyone ever successfully implemented NRPE on Solaris 9 or 8 ? If so can you provide the procedure followed.
I even tried to compile from source but no luck.

Did you follow the README.Solaris?
Compiling on Solaris
Several changes may be necessary in order to compile NRPE on Solaris.
This information is known to apply to Solaris 10 and may apply to other
verisions of Solaris. This has been tested on Solaris 10 x86.
There are three things that you may need to compile NRPE on Solaris:
1. Add /usr/sfw/bin to your path
$ PATH="$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin"
2. Specify the binary to be used for make-ing
$ MAKE=gmake ./configure
3. Use gmake to build the code
$ gmake all
Thanks to Kevin Pendleton at UtahSysAdmin.com
(
http://www.utahsysadmin.com/2008/03/14/ ... olaris-10/)
for the instructions on finding the SSL libraries.
From the site above:
./configure –with-ssl=/usr/sfw/ –with-ssl-lib=/usr/sfw/lib/
What errors are you getting when compiling from source?

Hi ssax,
Thank you for responding. I get the below error When I run MAKE=gmake ./configure
Code: Select all
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... configure: error: Cannot find ssl headers
When checked for package availability, I get the below output
Code: Select all
# pkginfo | grep -i ssl
utility RHATossl openssl 0.9.7a
utility RHATpossl pyOpenSSL 0.6

You will need the development headers, not just the ssl package itself. I am not entirely sure what devel packages are called in Solaris-land, but you will need them to move forward with the ssl-supported build.

Hi abrist,
Tried to figure out the package name, but no luck. Any Idea on the package name ?

Could you give this a try?
Code: Select all
cd nrpe-*; ./configure –with-ssl=/usr/sfw/ –with-ssl-lib=/usr/sfw/lib/ –with-ssl-inc=/usr/sfw/include
I pulled this suggestion out of the following post:

Sorry to be repetitive maddev, but did you try what ssax said?
Code: Select all
./configure –with-ssl=/usr/sfw/ –with-ssl-lib=/usr/sfw/lib/

Hi Jolson and jdalrymple,
I have installed the openssl package openssl-0.9.8f-sol9-sparc-local.gz; now I can successfully run configure script with below options
Code: Select all
./configure -with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl -with-ssl-lib=/usr/local/ssl/lib
I am seeing the below error when I issue the make all
Code: Select all
cd ./src/; make ; cd ..

I found a Nagios Tracker post about this:
http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=370
The last I resolve it by add the definition “isblank” in the source file acl.c:
#ifndef isblank
#define isblank(c)((c) == ' ' || (c) == '\t')
#endif
Then I "make clean" and "make all" again, it go smoothly.
Let us know if the above works for you.

Tried this already Jolson. But the issue persists.
