Nagios on Solaris 10

[Grant Lowe]

Hi Adam,

Instead of compiling, have you tried downloading the packages you need from blastwave.org?  I got the binaries from there and they installed quickly and fairly painlessly.  I had a little trouble with the libraries needed to run the NRPE binaries, but after running ldd on the binaries, I was able to find out which libraries I need and all the libraries were available on sunfreeware.  In case the libraries aren't in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you can always use crle, or create symlinks to the libraries (since they all install in /usr/local/lib be default).

Hope this helps.

Uggh… I just went through that. It seems to be more
popular for people to want to run it on Solaris but this stuff was designed on
GCC (linux/BSD) platforms and it was not easy for me... I used GCC to compile, but
you can use Sun Studio to I hear. I still have problems getting the trending
graphs (GD-dependent stuff) compiled. Once I am finished with my homework  on
this problem, I’ll post a hopefully clear description of the problem and
we’ll see if the community can solve. This has been the trickiest part
for me….
 
If you want check_ldap, I think you will need openldap libraries
and not the sun ldap libraries.
With regard to SSL, I left that out because I had problems
compiling with openssl and the Sun SSL libraries. I think my problems centered
around not having root and having to put libraries in the vtier…
 
All in all, it took me about 20 times as long as it would have
on a GCC system to work through various funky compile options and such. I think
I’d prefer to run it on BSD, though Solaris isn’t a bad platform….
It just doesn’t seem like there hasn’t been much developing of
nagios yet in the Solaris world.
 
Good luck….

Dear All,
 
Just a short question. Does anyone know if a quick install guide has been
written for installing Nagios 3.x on Solaris 10?
If so could you please forward me a link?
 
Kind Regards,
 
Adam
