[Nagiosplug-help] Re: Can't compile NagiosPlugins 1.4 on Gentoo (was: Trouble compiling 1.4 plugins)

[Justin Shore]

Is there anything I can do to help this process along?  Since this configure script is apparently broken and doesn't actually honor --without-check_radius or --with-check_radius=no then I can't compile nagiosplugins.  A nagios install without plugins doesn't really do much more than suck up power.  That means I'm dead on the water with this box since all I can easily run on it is Nagios (it's a Sparc) and everything other NOC function has already been configured and is working on this box.  Is there a way to manually disable check_radius in such a way that make doesn't even attempt to compile it?  If not then the best I can do is find or buy another box and put anything other than Gentoo on it.

Has anyone else gotten Nagios 2005.0 to work on Gentoo?  I know I'm not alone here.

Thanks
  Justin
