I did earlier and found it all very confusing. Looks like the sources are distro-specific. It would be good to provide links for dependencies from nagios web site. But then the developers are doing over and above what we expect them of :-) I eventually found the plug-ins in SuSE 9 distro. I installed them. I then installed nrpe and installed it. Hope it goes smooth from here on. __________________________________________ Ranga Nathan / CSG Systems Programmer - Specialist; Technical Services; BAX Global Inc.

When I try to do a build from the spec file I get the following messages: Failed build dependencies: openssl-devel is needed by nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.rf radiusclient-devel is needed by nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.rf fping is needed by nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.rf openssh-clients is needed by nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.rf qstat is needed by nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.rf openldap-devel is needed by nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.rf mysql-devel is needed by nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.rf perl(Net::SNMP) is needed by nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.rf net-snmp-devel is needed by nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.rf net-snmp-utils is needed by nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.rf I am having a hard time finding these modules for SuSE intel and s390 environments. Does anyone know of a place where I can find source rpms all of these? I am not asking anyone to do the work for me. I have been googling around but not successful. Many of the sources are marked for spefific Linux distros and I do not find this in SuSE distro or at Novell's site. Guidance appreciated. __________________________________________ Ranga Nathan / CSG Systems Programmer - Specialist; Technical Services; BAX Global Inc.
