Have you tried looking in the EPEL repository?

I have CentOS and use rpmforge.
( https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Finding )
Rpmforge has packages compiled for RHEL & clones but also has an
OS-independant source RPM which should have a functional spec file. (
http://packages.sw.be/nagios/nagios-3.0.6-1.rf.src.rpm )

Just be aware that if you install the either repository into yum, its
highly suggested you install yum-priorities first, and then give EPEL
and/or rpmforge a lower priority than anything in the base
repositories.

  Andrew.
