Code: Select all

checking for SSL headers... configure: error: Cannot find ssl headers

Code: Select all

yum install openssl-devel
Incidentally nsca also fails because libmcrypt is missing, you may want to toss that beast in too.

Code: Select all

yum install libmcrypt libmcrypt-devel

When I try those commands my red hat subscription management reports that there is no package called openssl-devel or libmcrypt available

It looks like the EPEL repo and the prereqs didn't installed either.
Run the following to try and get those installed. Login to the server as root and run the following

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/linux-nrpe-agent
rm installed.repos
rm installed.prereqs
./fullinstall
If it errors out, please upload the install.log

as part of the prereqs it is looking for libmcrypt libmcrypt-devel but that package is not available from redhat anymore. I went to http://mcrypt.sourceforge.net and there is a version there but it looks like it is for windows. Is this still needed I tried your suggestion yum install libmcrypt libmcrypt-devel and it says no package found.

Can you please verify what version of RHEL you are running?
cat /etc/redhat-release

red hat enterprise Linux computenode release 6.4 (Santiago) from the install log it looks like the libmcrypt-devel is causing the error can you tell me what version of libmcrypt-devel that these scripts are looking for, the install works but I am not getting all data back from the nrpe agent

You will need to update your repository in order to install libmcrypt / libmcrypt-dev. I believe a manual install is what's causing it to not work properly. Based on your RHEL version, you can do this with the following commands.

Code: Select all

wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
