It's a directory --
(nagios.cfg)
# CHECK RESULT PATH
# This is directory where Nagios stores the results of host and
# service checks that have not yet been processed.
#
# Note: Make sure that only one instance of Nagios has access
# to this directory!
check_result_path=/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults

'make install', during your initial installation, should have created
it. If you installed from a package, it would appear that your package
maintainer might not be performing all necessary installation actions.
You can create the directory by hand. It's typically mode 775,
nagios:nagios I believe...
as root --
mkdir -p /var/lib/nagios/spool/checkresults; chmod 755 /var/lib/nagios/
spool/checkresults; chown nagios:nagios /var/lib/nagios/spool/
checkresults
