[Nagiosplug-help] RedHat ES4

[Robert Bernard]

Dear Plugin Developers,

I have just tried to build plugins on 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 3)

Using the command:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-
group=nagios --with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin

ends with ...

I have been able to build on RedHat ES4 although it hung first time at 
"checking for redhat spopen problem...". 
I ran the check by hand "cd config_test && make && make test" which takes anot 
15 secs and returns 0, then ran the configure again and it completed second 
time.

Thanks for any help
