   First off this program rules, I have been searching for usefull documentation on writing plugins for nagios but
havent found much.
  So any links/whatever there would be greaetly appreciated.

Secondly:

   I have been struggling with running nagios on sloaris 2.7 and have ironed everything out except for one issue.
For the status map to work you need to have the gd/jpg/png lib installed. The most recent verisions of all have been
isntalled, on installing the GD lib it checked for and found the png and jpg libs fine and dandy, also that install went
fine.
When one actually clicks on the status map link we get an internal server error and the following line appears in the
apache error logs.

--begin log snippet--

ld.so.1: statusmap.cgi: fatal: libgd.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
[Wed Feb 12 12:01:59 2003] [error] [client 63.72.207.34] Premature end of script headers:
/usr/local/nagios/sbin//statusmap.cgi

--end log snippet--

The file name 'libgd.so.2' is a symbolic link in /usr/local/lib that points to /usr/local/lib/libgd.so.2.0.0
the ls -l /usr/local/lib/libgd.so* output shows me this:

--begin ls output--

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         14 Feb 10 13:33 libgd.so -> libgd.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         14 Feb 10 13:33 libgd.so.2 -> libgd.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x   1 bin        bin     479764 Feb 10 13:33 libgd.so.2.0.0

--end ls output--

I have compiled nagios using:
--with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/local/inc

I for grins, put a symbolic link to the file in a few other dirs i thought it maybe trying to look in, even though it
was compiled with the gd dir specified.
Anyhelp on this matter would make me a pretty happy fellow.
