Nagios Support Forum

Hello there

For AIX Version 7.1

Has anyone had success to compile the latest version of nrpe for AIX 7.1
I am having problems/errors

1. # ./configure --configure --enable-command-args
Goes thorough the motions and all looks good.
The problem is when I running "make all"
I get this:

Review the options above for accuracy. If they look okay,
type 'make all' to compile the NRPE daemon and client
or type 'make' to get a list of make options.

I'm pretty sure that you didn't use that ./configure --configure since that isn't a valid argument. It would be more helpful if you showed exactly what you passed to the configure script or your resulting Makefile. The rest of your error is related to ssl. Are you sure you have the correct SSL parts needed?

Without SSL I am getting these errors:

Found the problem.
It was related to AIX 7.1 and GCC

All looking good now.

Hi Chands,

Glad to hear you were able to resolve it! Can you provide some details on what the problem/solution was in case others run into the same situation?
