Getting error execv /opt/nrpe/bin/nrpe: Exec format error in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Hello @nagiosuser1000,

Did you follow the instructions for compiling NRPE from source ( see below)? Also, what version of HP-UX are you running?

NRPE - How To Install NRPE v3 From Source

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your reply. we are in the process of compiling now.
We are also getting another error

(No output on stdout) stderr: connect to address X.X.X.X port 5666: No route to host


Thank you

The compilation was successful. I see there is no instruction for hpux

We have hpux 11.11,11.23 and 11.31

Thank you

Getting following error when we execute " make all " command

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.

Hi @nagiosuser1000,

Looks like a compiler error. What version of gcc is installed on this system? Can you try upgrading gcc and then re-compile?

It is working now.

Thanks a lot Benjamin
