First time install, big fubar mess

Greetings,
I've installed a standard nagios setup for my employer, monitoring
several servers and services. Initially, nagios seemed to be working,
though not exactly as expected, but now I seemed to have fubar'd everything.
I orginally compiled nagios to use mysql and without the --with-cgiurl
or --with-htmlurl flags. I just wanted to get nagios working before
playing with web interface. After getting nagios to work for the most
part, I recompiled with the appropriate flags for using the web
interface. However, nagios can't seem to parse any of the config files now.
Running nagios with -v gives the following errors which seem to suggest
nagios is croaking on the first line of the config that is not commented.
Nagios 1.1

What would cause such a problem? I have not seen such an error in the
documentation or through my scanning of the list archives.
Also, while I compiled nagios to use mysql, it doesn't seem to be
writing data to the mysql DB. I have checked the mysql logs, and there
are no errors. In fact, it doesn't look as if nagios is even trying to
connect to mysql at this time. I set the appropriate variables in the
resources.cfg. Is there another config file I need to edit that maybe I
missed in the documentation?
Thanks for any help. Regards
Dan Lang
