Sounds like you didn't install the init script.

Step 3 of http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart- 
fedora.html --

make install-init

This just checks your nagios configuration (nagios.cfg and any  
cfg_files or resource_files referenced within it) for obvious syntax  
errors. It doesn't check apache configuration, startup scripts,  
whether your plugins exist/work, etc, etc.

That would be an apache configuration problem. Check your apache error  
logs for information. If there's nothing interesting there, expand on  
what you mean by 'wont let me in' and the exact configuration steps  
you've taken so far. You might want to also read/review the actual  
nagios quick start guide above to make sure the one you're reading  
didn't miss steps.

There are no incompatibilities with any flavor of linux that I am  
aware of. Nagios has pretty minimal requirements.
