Problem Compiling Plugins

Hello,

I’m new to Nagios and have been working on getting it installed on Solaris 10. I’ve gotten as far as Installing the plugins version 1.4.2 and have hit a snag. It appears I can successfully run the ./configure parameters, although I am unable to compile the plugins using “make”. Below is a print out of my error. Seems to be centralized around the"check_dhcp.c" plugin although I don’t know what steps to take.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

looks like some dhcp package missing or not linked…
on solaris 8 one neede to add a -lns switch while compiling… (i seem to tremeber it was for the main program not the plugins) possibly this could help but i’m not quite sure…
anyway a search on the forum should bring some results about that solaris 8 compiling problem… not working on solaris anymore i forgot that point.

Hope it helps, Luca

Thanks Luca. I’m running Solaris 10, but will look into adding the -lns switch you suggested and search the forum for more info.
