Nagios Support Forum

The Nagios XI Linux agent installation failed at a couple of our Linux servers. Here is the error:

.....
*** Compile finished ***

If the compile finished without any errors, you should
find client and server binaries in the src/ subdirectory.

Read the README file for more information on installing
the binaries, creating configuration files, and using
the server and client.

To better assist, can you let us know the Linux distro + version running on these servers?

Here is a forum thread about the same issue where 'cpss454' posted a fix for Oracle Linux 6.6, of course I'm not sure if this will apply to you not knowing the OS:

Both servers are RHEL 6.8. Thanks!

That error is usually caused by a missing package that needs to be installed on the servers.
Try running this on the remote hosts and then recompiling the NRPE Agent.

It did resolve the issue! Thanks!

Glad to hear this is resolved. Were there additional questions on the topic or are we good to lock this thread?
