Linux version 2.6.9-89.0.16.ELsmp
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 8)
linux-nrpe-agent-el4
Nagios XI 2011R2.4

During agent installation on RHEL 4.8 , the ./fullinstall script hangs on "checking for redhat spopen problem..."
I did notice this "configure: See http://nagiosplugins.org/faq/compile/co ... rs_to_hang if this next part takes a long time[/i]
I viewed this FAQ but do not understand how I would run the ./configure with the --enable-redhat-pthread-workaround switch???
This script runs as part of the ./fullinstall script?

Thank You in advance

there is a known issue with our installer for RHEL 4.

Please run the following and then try to run the ./fullinstall again

Code: Select all

yum install up2date autoconf gcc glibc libmcrypt-devel make openssl-devel perl perl-Net-SMTP-TLS sudo sysstat xinetd -y

Scott,
I do not believe that YUM is installed on my RHEL 4.x servers. Silly question but, I assume I should install it to run this command?

I'm sorry, try running

Code: Select all

up2date autoconf gcc glibc libmcrypt-devel make openssl-devel perl perl-Net-SMTP-TLS sudo sysstat xinetd

This is going to be tough as RHEL 4 has actually reached "end of life"
