Topic: configure: error

[sebastiaopburnay]

Hi,

I'm having a problem installing the nrpe plugin for nagios in an sme-server.

When I run the ./configure file, it stops with an error of:

Code: [Select]

checking for SSL... configure: error: Cannot find ssl libraries
I've tried searching for ssl and I got:

Code: [Select]

[root@nagiux nrpe-2.8]# find /* -name ssl
/etc/e-smith/templates.metadata/var/service/qpsmtpd/ssl
/etc/e-smith/templates/usr/share/ssl
/etc/e-smith/events/bootstrap-console-save/templates2expand/var/service/qpsmtpd/ssl
/etc/e-smith/events/console-save/templates2expand/var/service/qpsmtpd/ssl
/etc/e-smith/events/email-update/templates2expand/var/service/qpsmtpd/ssl
/tmp/ssl
/usr/share/ssl
/var/service/qpsmtpd/ssl
/var/service/sqpsmtpd/ssl
/var/service/imap/ssl
/var/service/imap/ssl/usr/share/ssl
So, Im guessing the issue is not the absense of ssl, but something else.

Thank you

what about asking in nagios' support forum?

I guess you need the devel package

You most likely need -devel packages as development packages required for compilation are not installed on SME Server by default as they impose a security risk. The advised route to installing additional software is using RPM packages. Why don't you install the nagios RPM that is available in the SME Contribs repository?

For more details see: http://wiki.contribs.org/Nagios

No, you ran into a problem *building* some software. SME server is not a development platform. You should use a CentOS system for developing, build rpms there (if you cannot find them pre-built somewhere else, and then install the rpms on the SME server system.

I expect this is covered in the FAQ and howtos.
