While doing a make install I got the following error. I did create the user and add it and apache to the nagcmd group.
root@codemonkey:/home/dave/nagios-3.2.0# make install
cd ./base && make install
make[1]: Entering directory /home/dave/nagios-3.2.0/base' make install-basic make[2]: Entering directory/home/dave/nagios-3.2.0/base’

what configure options did you use? make install is trying to us the group “nagios” which doesn’t exist on your server.

I used the default ones from the Quickstart guide:
./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd

Looks like you need this part as the nagios group is not created

Luca, nice catch. That wasn’t in the quickstart guide. I managed to run the following successfully:
make install
make install-init
make install-config
make install-commandmode
I get an error on make install-webconf
root@codemonkey:/home/dave/nagios-3.2.0# make install-webconf
/usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 sample-config/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf
/usr/bin/ginstall: cannot create regular file `/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf’: No such file or directory

./configure --help
–with-httpd-conf=<path_to_conf> sets path to Apache conf.d directory
