Hello Guys,
I have tried to install Nagios 3.2.0 version on Linux CentOS 5.2 and I have got an issue:
When starting, it ends with segmentation fault:
[root@mon bin]# ./nagios -d /usr/local/nagios_new/etc/nagios.cfg
Segmentation fault
[root@mon bin]#
Despite the fact that checking the config works OK:
[root@mon bin]# ./nagios -v /usr/local/nagios_new/etc/nagios.cfg
Nagios Core 3.2.0

[root@mon bin]#
The Nagios is compiled with embedded perl support (as I have a some plugins in Perl). No errors or warnings appeared while configuring and compiling the code.
Below is a try to find the cause:
[root@mon bin]# gdb ./nagios

It seems that this is due to perl, but I cannot figure out what exactly causes this.
Also have tried to run Nagios in debug mode (with debug_level=-1, debug_verbosity=2) but this is all I got in nagios.debug:
[1258446070.459957] [001.0] [pid=23617] drop_privileges() start

Could someone help me with this?
Or just point out what’s wrong with perl?
Many Thanks,
