hi all,

i’ve also a similar problem with nagios plugins 1.4.6 compilation, but not the same error

i have this error message :

Making install in po
make[1]: Entering directory /usr/src/nagios_installation/nagios-plugins-1.4.6/po' /bin/sh @MKINSTALLDIRS@ /usr/local/nagios/share @MKINSTALLDIRS@: @MKINSTALLDIRS@: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory/usr/src/nagios_installation/nagios-plugins-1.4.6/po’
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

my nagios version is 2.8
and it’s under debian 2.6.12-2-686

can you tell me what can i resolve the problem ?
i doubt of the nagios installation script, that why we can see the problem of the variable @MKINSTALLDIRS@

thank you by advance

best regards

sunfun

I vaguely remember getting that error message on a Fedora Core 6 box recently when trying to test build. Found out that I forgot to install some of the development packages for mySQL. I also made sure I updated them to any new version as well.
