Well first off it might be worth submitting a backtrace to the list to look at. If you need instructions on how to go about that I can give em.

Beyond that, initially I had very little luck getting embedded perl to work on my RedHat 7.3 install with nagios 2.0, unless you need it, I'd remove --enable-embedded-perl and --with-perlcache. I'd also remove --enable-event-broker for now unless you are planning on writing one (it's not needed for normal operation).  Also cosmetically, --with-template-objects --with-template-extinfo are no longer required and --enable-DEBUGALL supersedes --enable-DEBUG0.

Best of luck,
