Thorght id give it a go on Solaris, im no coder so have no idea how to
fix these errors...
This is on Solaris 10 Sparc

Had to install automake and tools first then:
if you would like versions pleas elet me know for which software etc.

adm01:nrpe# ./autogen.sh
+ aclocal
+ autoheader
+ automake --add-missing --copy --foreign
configure.ac:9: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac:9: installing `./missing'
src/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
+ autoconf
configure.ac:11: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:11: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR

=================================

adm01:nrpe# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
./configure: line 2799: syntax error near unexpected token `libssl,'
./configure: line 2799: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(libssl,
libssl,AC_DEFINE([HAVE_SSL],[1],[Define we have
SSL]),AC_MSG_ERROR([nrpe requires libssl.]))'
