Is building an rpm difficult? I haven't really researched doing that. My reluctance to going with 3.0.6 is that the build I have requires libgd.so.1.8 but I have libgd.so.2.0 so I don't want to uninstall libgd.so.2.0 just to install an older libgd. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Gius [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 1, 2009 01:21 PM To: 'Natalie Aloi' Cc: 'Nagios Users Mail-list' Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] general inquiry of method of install for Nagios 3.1.2 on Fedora 9 system
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. 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. -Gius Natalie Aloi wrote: Hi, I am trying to get nagios 3.x to install - I was attempting to upgrade from 2.11 but found too many problems, so I am attempting a new install on a different server - this way no conflicts, etc. I am relatively new to unix/linux so bear with me. I have installed fedora 9 on a server and am kind of familiar with yum and rpm which sure makes life easier for the newbie But I can't seem to locate an rpm for the latest release of Nagios ver 3.1.2. My question is what problems, if any, might I encounter just installing the tar ball for nagios and the plugins to get nagios 3.x up & operational vs using an older version of nagios 3.0.6 that has an rpm file associated with it? thanks!
