Okay, but check_http will not be able to check https:// connections, and 
nrpe won't use secure connections.

If I am right, then it looks like the problem may have started further 
above where check_icmp.c was compiled to the check_icmp.o object, check 
that it has the correct -lsocket and -lnsl linker flags supplied.

The error you are seeing is where the check_icmp.o object is linked 
against libraries and compiled as an executable.  Looks like some 
-l<lib> linker flags haven't been supplied.

I may be wrong, but a similar problem happened with nagios-plugins-1.4 
on Sol 8 (with gcc).

Cheers
rob.
