Please always reply on-list unless specifically asked otherwise. That's
normal etiquette for any mailing list and especially important for a
support list.

Yes, it should be a symlink to check_ldap which you don't seem to have.
>From the plugin REQUIREMENTS file --

"check_ldap:
        - Requires the LDAP libraries available from
          http://www.openldap.org
                Lib: libldap, liblber
                Redhat Source: openldap-1.2.9-6.i386.rpm,
openldap-devel-1.2.9-6.i386.rpm"

Does your system meet the pre-requisite to have that plugin compile? Did
./configure complain or say anything about LDAP? Was it compiled (i.e.
do you see it compiled in the nagios-plugins-[version]/plugins
directory? If you see check_ldap (not check_ldap.c or check_ldap.o) in
that plugins directory, try running it from there. If it works, manually
copy it to your libexec directory. 

During ./configure you should be able to find lines like the following
--

checking for main in -lldap... yes
checking for ldap_set_option... yes
checking for ldap_init... yes
checking for ldap_set_option... (cached) yes
checking for ldap_get_option... yes
checking for ldap_start_tls_s... yes

You _probably_ see something like the following right now --

WARNING: Skipping LDAP plugin
WARNING: install LDAP libs to compile this plugin (see REQUIREMENTS).

In a case like this, basic troubleshooting should have been to see where
the symlink pointed to and investigate why _that_ file, not check_ldaps,
didn't exist.

This is certainly not a nagios issue and there's no way it could be.
Your OS hasn't updated its [s]locate database. Most OS's have a cron job
that updates it daily. Try running 'updatedb' to force a refresh of the
database.

As far as nagios making you feel sick, so far the only real nagios
related issue you've shown has been an apparent lack of meeting spelled
out requirements. Admittedly though, the Makefile probably shouldn't
create the check_ldaps symlink if check_ldap can't be compiled (if it
doesn't already have that logic). Other than that it's a lack of your
familiarization with your chosen OS, something that we assume is a given
as a technical community (rightly so).

I do not. Yes there is since I met the pre-requisites.
