[Nagiosplug-help] Building RPM Red Hat Lijnux 8.0?

[Hugo van der Kooij]

Hi,

I tried to rebuild the nagios-plugins but  ran into some autmoake errors I 
can not resolve myself. (Being a non-programmer not that surprising I 
guess.)

The output I get after trying to run aclocal as instructed:

Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.43645

The original packe is without the aclocal command but I added it after the 
first error messages I got that told me moe or less to add aclocal:
