Nagios Support Forum

Hello team,
I'm trying to install the agent on a Red Hat 6.6 linux server that is not registered, to download packages enable the EPEL repository.

I am following the instructions from the following URL: https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=515

In the compile stage, I get the following error:

[root @ server01 nrpe-nrpe-3.2.1] # ./configure --enable-command-args
-bash: ./configure: Permission denied
[root @ server01 nrpe-nrpe-3.2.1] #

Also try it in the following way:

[root @ server01 nrpe-nrpe-3.2.1] # sh configure --enable-command-args

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host '.
See `config.log 'for more details

I'm not clear on this - did you run:

yum install -y gcc glibc glibc-common openssl openssl-devel perl wget

? to download and install the required packages? If not, this needs to be done. If you did do this, please provide the config.log created when you try to compile.

Yes, thank you very much.

I managed to solve it after several attempts, what happens is that this server did not have the partitions by default, so after I realized that, install the agent from a different route to the / tmp and manage to execute all the scripts without problems .

Excellent, glad to hear it is resolved!
