installing Nagios on shared Debian box (Dreamhost)?

[RR]

I recently got a Dreamhost account (basically, a shared Debian box with a
bunch of other ppl) and am hoping that I can install Nagios on it.

Is there any "gotchas" on installing Nagios on a shared box like this?  I'm
assuming that the process of installing it would go (something like)

1. d/l tar file
http://www.nagios.org/download/

2. customize the ./configure script before I run "make install" (to prevent
it from running at the system level)

Are there any "gotchas" that I need to know about before I do this?  Or,
better yet, any HOWTOs that give step-by-step instructions? (I didn't find
any googling)
