Nagios Support Forum

I just tried installing the XI Linux Agent on a RHEL 5.8 client system, and was told "enterpriseenterpriseserver5.8 is not currently supported. Please use Red Hat or CentOS versions 5 or 6"
Any advice?

I also need to install the check_nrpe plugin on my server. I'm a little surprised that it's not included in nagios-plugins-1.4.15 but there must be a reason.
In any case, I download the nrpe add-on to my RHEL 5.8 server system, and the configure phase dies with "checking for SSL headers... configure: error: Cannot find ssl headers"
Any advice on this one too?

Thanks...Lyle

How did I.T. survive before Google?

I searched for "configure: error: Cannot find ssl headers", and found I had to do: yum install openssl-devel
Then the configure and make of the nrpe add-on worked.

Any advice on the XI Linux Agent install failure would still be appreciated.

Thanks...Lyle

Is this really a RHEL machine or is it a RHEL derivative? What is the output of

/etc/redhat-release contains: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)

lsb_release -si responds with: EnterpriseEnterpriseServer

Thanks...Lyle

Are you sure this isn't Oracle Linux 5

Duh... It *is* Oracle Linux 5.8

Now what? Install NRPE from source, per: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... or/details

Thanks....Lyle

Yes that would be my suggestion.
