I downloaded Nagios Core 4.2.0 source and compiled on Mac OS 10.11 aka El Capitan. Upon execution I get a segmentation fault.

bash-3.2$ ./nagios /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Does anyone have any ideas on a way to get it to work on Mac OS 10.11 and/or how to formally open this as a bug?

Segfaults in particular can be difficult to pin down. Internally, there isn't much testing done with OS X (since we don't have a system to test against).

The github is the best place to report bugs and is probably the best way to get a resolution for this issue:

Thanks, I opened #151 on there. Crossing my fingers

Thanks! Going to close this up, since it is a developer concern and has been filed on GitHub.
