Can't compile nrpe on Solaris 8

[Chan Chee Seng]

Greeting!

Thanks for the responses that I got from Jordi Vidal and Skip Montanro.

I was directed to download the latest tar tarball from

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/cvs/nrpe-cvs.tar.gz

However the latest tarball (I got version 2.0b5) still have a problem with finding the ssl include path.  I have to tweak the configure script (As previously suggested from Skip) like this

==== part of configure script ====
if test -f "$dir/include/openssl/ssl.h"; then
                        found_ssl=yes
                        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I$ssldir/include/openssl -I$ssldir/include"
==================================

It seems like common/config.h has a difference in the #include directive statements.  Incidentally I got openssl from sunfreeware and the include files are installed in /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl.

But the good thing is that the u_int32_t problem is gone!  :)

I am now trying to set up nrpe to do remote monitoring.  Thanks again guys.

Regards,
Chan Chee Seng

Greetings,

I tried to compiled nrpe 2.0b4 on a Solaris 8 box but I got the following 2 errors:

make[1]: *** [nrpe] Error 1

Initially the compilation cannot find the ssl includes too.  I came across a posting about a similar problem from the nagios-devel archives which showed me how to solved the ssl include problem (Thanks Skip Montanaro ☺ ) But I can't make sense of how to solve the u_int32_t problem.  Can someone send me details of how to solve this?  Thanks.

Lastly, during the ./configure, it complained that I do not have Kerberos include files.  How can I disable Kerberos being detected by configure?  Will nrpe still run without Kerberos?

==== part of output from ./configure ====
checking for Kerberos include files... could not find include files
=========================================

Thanks for any help rendered.
