No, if that were the case, it would say no such user or no such
group.  It's complaining about the 'nagios' binary that doesn't
exist.

If the above is exactly what was done, yes, it *should* error out -
he went from 'configure' to 'make install'.  I think he's going to
need to actually build the software with 'make all' before the
'make install'.  Otherwise, the nagios binary doesn't even exist
yet.  ;)

If the above isn't exactly what happened, then something failed
during the build and we need to see the output of the 'make all'
step.
