Hi Rama,
Please do not hijack another user's thread - please start a new one.
Additionally, this question would be best suited on the nagiosplug-help
list (cc'd.)
I think this is because you're giving the full path to the mysql_config
binary. --with-mysql requires the installation folder as an argument,
it will locate mysql_config itself.
e.g. ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
--with-mysql=/usr
