Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am having trouble installing nagios on Oracle Linux 6.7. I amd running ./fullinstall as root but it fails at ./A-subcompnents

[sadmin@nagios nagiosxi]$ tail install.log
checking for strdup... yes
checking for strstr... yes
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
ERROR: Subcomponent 'nrpe' installation failed - exiting.
Subcomponents installation failed - exiting

is there something that I need to install?


I have attached my install.log

Oracle is not built into our fullinstall script. You need to instal on RHEL 5/6/7 or CentOS 5/6/7. You could attempt to modify the script to get it installed, but it's untested and unsupported.

Thanks. I was only given the option to install Nagios on Oracle Linux 6 for now for testing purposes.

As of the time of writing, Nagios Enterprises is only able to officially provide support for installing Nagios XI on the following Linux
distributions:
•
RHEL 5 & 6 32-bit and 64-bit, and RHEL 7 (requires RHN registration)
•
CentOS 5 & 6 32-bit and 64-bit, and CentOS 7
If you discover bugs or have fixes for installing Nagios XI on other platforms, please let us know. We will do our best to incorporate
your improvements to expand support for additional platforms in future Nagios XI releases, which will make future installation processes
smoother for you and your clients.

If you need something official for the powers that be. Otherwise, you can probably mess with the script. My apologies that I can't really give you a better answer.
