install of nagios

[Marc Powell]

The documentation is _slightly_ deficient and presumes that your ran all
the make targets below.

*** Compile finished ***

If the main program and CGIs compiled without any errors, you
can continue with installing Nagios as follows (type 'make'
without any arguments for a list of all possible options):

  make install
     - This installs the main program, CGIs, and HTML files

  make install-init
     - This installs the init script in /etc/rc.d/init.d

  make install-commandmode
     - This installs and configures permissions on the
       directory for holding the external command file

  make install-config
     - This installs *SAMPLE* config files in /usr/local/etc
       You'll have to modify these sample files before you can
       use Nagios.  Read the HTML documentation for more info
       on doing this.  Pay particular attention to the docs on
       object configuration files, as they determine what/how
       things get monitored!

As you can see, you want to run 'make install-commandmode' and 'make
install-config'. You indicate your ran' make install-config' below. Did
you run it from the same -compiled- nagios source as your original
install? That would be the only reason I can think that the ~nagios/etc
directory wouldn't be created when you run that target. If you continue
to have problems, post the output of your run of 'make install-config'.
