[Nagios-users] Problems compiling ndoutils-1.4b1
Hi List, My box config is as follows SUSE Linux enterprise Server 9.2 Mysql 5.0.27 Php 5.2.0 Apache 2.0.59 Nagios 2.6 Nagios Plugins 1.4.5 Im trying to install ndoutils on my SLES 9.2 box and getting an error whilst doing a make. I see the following in my ./configure -< SNIP >- *** MySQL library could not be located... ** You chose to compile NDBXT with MySQL support, but I was unable to locate the MySQL library on your system. If the library is installed, use the --with-mysql-lib argument to specify the location of the MySQL library. NOTE: After you install the necessary libraries on your system: 1. Make sure /etc/ld.so.conf has an entry for the directory in which the MySQL libraries are installed. 2. Run 'ldconfig' to update the run-time linker options. 3. Run 'make devclean' in the NDBXT distribution to clean out any old references to your previous compile. 4. Rerun the configure script. TIP: Try the following ./configure --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql checking mysql/mysql.h usability... yes checking mysql/mysql.h presence... yes checking for mysql/mysql.h... yes checking for PQconnectdb in -lpq... No -< SNIP >- Now I have done everything it has said in the sections above from ./configure and I still get the error. I compiled mysql from source and I have installed the following from RPMs MySQL-client-5.0.27-0.glibc23.i386.rpm MySQL-devel-5.0.27-0.glibc23.i386.rpm MySQL-shared-5.0.27-0.glibc23.i386.rpm If I run a 'make' I get the following before it bombs out make[2]: Entering directory `/home/welsht2/downloads/nagios/ndoutils-1.4b1/src' gcc -O0 -g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c -o db.o db.c gcc -O0 -g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D BUILD_NAGIOS_2X -c -o dbhandlers-2x.o dbhandlers.c gcc -O0 -g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D BUILD_NAGIOS_2X -o ndo2db-2x ndo2db.c dbhandlers-2x.o io.o utils.o db.o -L/usr/lib/mysql -lnsl utils.o(.text+0x131): In function `ndo_dbuf_strcat': /home/welsht2/downloads/nagios/ndoutils-1.4b1/src/utils.c:67: undefined reference to `ceil' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [ndo2db-2x] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/welsht2/downloads/nagios/ndoutils-1.4b1/src' make[1]: *** [ndo2db] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/welsht2/downloads/nagios/ndoutils-1.4b1/src' Anyone any ideas what ive done wrong.

Re: [Nagios-users] FreeBSD could not get group entry for Nagios
Personally I prefer to compile from source as I know exactly what it does and where things go. I sorted it anyway, it was basically a config item that still read "nagios_group=nagios" - I changed that to "nagios_group=localservice" and the warning went away.

Nagios doesn't consume a lot of memory (as it doesn't use a database or something else that stays resident for a long time in memory), but having loads of it will let the kernel cache all the files it uses instead, which is a Good Thing(tm). -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 - Take Surveys.

What happens if you do echo $? after running the command manually? If it says anything other than "0" (or possibly provides a long listing of /tmp), the command actually failed to run, although you didn't get an error message, or the HP-UX version of sshd didn't forward stderr to you. -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 - Take Surveys.

Then you're not doing something properly. Without seeing the config file you're talking about, I have no way of knowing what you're screwing up. running nagios -v /path/to/your/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg is a good way to help figure out what you're screwing up. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

[Nagios-users] Debian Bug #401738: statuswml.cgi cannot schedule check commands
Hi, this is from the Debian BTS, http://bugs.debian.org/401738: | When trying to re-schedule a check for a service from the wml pages I | get the following error message: "Start time must be non-zero".

Course, I was hoping for a lazier solution :p :D. On the other hand, right now this may all be a moot point, as I can't get routers2 to run under my chrooted apache- it wants to access /usr/bin/perl, which, of course, can't be accessed from within the chroot. Thanks for the script though- I may be able to make use of it anyway. --- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician Frontier Flying Service INC. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 --- - Take Surveys.

[Nagios-users] no libexec after intalling plugins!
Hello All, could someone please advise me where I've gone wrong installing my plugins? The problem is with this installation step Install the compiled plugins and plugin scripts with the following command: make install The installation procedure will attempt to place the plugins in a 'libexec/' subdirectory in the base directory you specified with the --prefix argument to the configure script. The problem is that this folder never turns up in ls -l /usr/local/nagios/ total 40 drwxrwxrwx 2 samfraser nagcmd 4096 Dec 7 16:52 bin drwxrwxr-x 2 samfraser nagcmd 4096 Jan 10 19:32 etc drwxrwxrwx 2 samfraser nagcmd 4096 Jan 10 18:55 sbin drwxrwxrwx 8 samfraser nagcmd 4096 Jan 10 18:54 share drwxrwxrwx 3 samfraser nagcmd 4096 Jan 10 19:51 var even though I specified /usr/local/nagios in the ./configure statement this is the output from make install. make install Making install in lib make[1]: Entering directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib' make install-recursive make[2]: Entering directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib' Making install in tests make[3]: Entering directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib/tests' make[4]: Entering directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib/tests' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib/tests' make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib/tests' make[3]: Entering directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib' make[4]: Entering directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib' make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib' make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib' make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib' Making install in plugins make[1]: Entering directory `/root/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/plugins' if gcc -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/nagios/share/locale\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../intl -I/usr/include/ldap -I/u sr/include -I/usr/include/mysql -I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-bu ffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -g -O2 -MT che ck_mysql-check_mysql.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/check_mysql-check_mysql.Tpo" -c -o check_mysql-check_mysql.o `test -f 'check_mysql.c' || e cho './'`check_mysql.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/check_mysql-check_mysql.Tpo" ".deps/check_mysql-check_mysql.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/check_mysql-check_mysql .Tpo"; exit 1; fi check_mysql.c:51:19: error: mysql.h: No such file or directory check_mysql.c:52:20: error: errmsg.h: No such file or directory check_mysql.c:58: error: ΓÇÿMYSQL_PORTΓÇÖ undeclared here (not in a function) check_mysql.c: In function ΓÇÿmainΓÇÖ: check_mysql.c:73: error: ΓÇÿMYSQLΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:73: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once check_mysql.c:73: error: for each function it appears in.) check_mysql.c:73: error: expected ΓÇÿ;ΓÇÖ before ΓÇÿmysqlΓÇÖ check_mysql.c:74: error: ΓÇÿMYSQL_RESΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:74: error: ΓÇÿresΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:75: error: ΓÇÿMYSQL_ROWΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:75: error: expected ΓÇÿ;ΓÇÖ before ΓÇÿrowΓÇÖ check_mysql.c:91: error: ΓÇÿmysqlΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:93: error: ΓÇÿMYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_GROUPΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:97: error: ΓÇÿCR_UNKNOWN_HOSTΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:99: error: ΓÇÿCR_VERSION_ERRORΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:101: error: ΓÇÿCR_OUT_OF_MEMORYΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:103: error: ΓÇÿCR_IPSOCK_ERRORΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:105: error: ΓÇÿCR_SOCKET_CREATE_ERRORΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:112: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size check_mysql.c:112: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size check_mysql.c:112: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size check_mysql.c:112: warning: passing argument 1 of ΓÇÿstrlenΓÇÖ makes pointer from integer without a cast check_mysql.c:112: warning: passing argument 2 of ΓÇÿ__builtin___memcpy_chkΓÇÖ makes pointer from integer without a cast check_mysql.c:112: warning: passing argument 2 of ΓÇÿ__memcpy_ichkΓÇÖ makes pointer from integer without a cast check_mysql.c:112: warning: passing argument 1 of ΓÇÿ__strdupΓÇÖ makes pointer from integer without a cast check_mysql.c:116: error: ΓÇÿCR_SERVER_GONE_ERRORΓÇÖ undeclared (first use in this function) check_mysql.c:118: error: ΓÇÿCR_SERVER_LOSTΓÇÖ undeclared (first use
