Because Nagios comes with a specfile, building Nagios only requires
that you install the appropriate development libraries and the rpm
build tools. Then it becomes a matter of rpmbuild -ba nagios.spec.
IIRC this builds the plugin rpm as well. <br>
<br>
I just checked and I'm running libgd-2.0, so you should be able to
build the RPM just fine (as long as you install all of the necessary
development libraries). <br>

<td class="" valign="top" width="100%">My recommendation is
to use the 3.0.6 RPM you found, or to build your own RPM using the
specfile that comes with the source distribution. Building your own
RPM means that Nagios is easier to install/uninstall, and you can reuse
the RPM pretty easily.<br>
<br>
I'm using my own RPM of 3.0.6 and I've had no problems with it. I
don't know what improvements are taking place in the 3.1 branch however.<br>

too many problems, so I am attempting a new install on a different
