compile plugins

Holy incomplete thoughts, Batman.

The pre-compiled plugin packages will install into /usr/local/bin; odd, but true. I moved them to /usr/local/nagios/libexec - make sure you grab utils.* and urlize if you do the same. this is so $USER1$ works, and you don't use up another of the 32 user variables to make things nice and neat.

At any rate, you will need libiconv for the plugins to work, which sunfreeware also distro's in a precompiled format, use pkgadd.

You will most likely need to update crle. I found that I needed to put /usr/local/lib (for libiconv I presume) before /usr/lib. I got ld.so.1 errors if it was the other way around.

# mkdir /usr/local/nagios
# mkdir /usr/local/nagios/libexec 
# mv /usr/local/bin/check_* /usr/local/nagios/libexec
# mv /usr/local/bin/utils* /usr/local/nagios/libexec
# mv /usr/local/bin/urlize /usr/local/nagios/libexec
# chown -R nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios
# crle -l /usr/local/lib:/usr/lib

  Greetings,

  For Soalris 8 you will need gcc, make, libiconv, and thier dependancies. sunfreeware.com has a nice guide that spells it all out. You could also use the pre-compiled versions located here -> http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Solaris.50.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=115 which I found very helpful. I did not want to go through all the motions of getting gcc, make, etc working on sol7 and 8 boxes. Just use pkgadd.

  I can't say for sure about RH, but linux is ~usually~ a bit more friendly to GNU software than default Solaris installs (even SUNWxcall).
