Here, in detail are the steps I followed to get nagios installed, with all of the neat graphic cgi's, on Redhat 8.0. There are just a few subtle details. <h3>Installation (on RedHat 8.0):</h3> Nagios requires the following: gd from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.boutell.com/gd">http://www.boutell.com/gd</a> libjpeg (RH CD #1) and libjpeg-devel (RH CD #2) libpng (RH CD #1) and libpng-devel (RH CD #2) Unpack gd with the following command: tar –xzvf gd.2.0.8.tar.gz Boutell’s version of gd will update the RedHat version by using the following configure invocation from the directory in which gd was unpacked: ./configure -–prefix=/usr make make install Prior to attempting to build the nagios distribution, /etc/ld.so.conf needs to be edited to include the path to gd (and libjpeg and libpng) by adding the line: /usr/lib then you must run the following command: ldconfig Now you are ready to configure and make nagios. Nagios is expanded by running the command: tar –xzvf nagios-1.0.tar.gz The configure invocation must include options for the path to your gd lib and gd includes. Running from the directory in which nagios was expanded: ./configure –-with-gd-lib=/usr/lib \ -–with-gd-inc=/usr/include Then execute the following commands in turn (note, you will see lots of warning messages as a result of the specified paths in the configure command. This is not a problem).: make all make install make install-init make install-commandmode make install-config Now you are ready to edit all of the necessary nagios config files which are located in /usr/local/nagios/etc. Refer to the excellent documentation that comes with nagios. (Sit and read the doc, especially the tips and tricks, before editing any files and you will find it much easier…) THANKS FOR THE HELP FOLKS... </body> </html>
