[Nagiosplug-help] compile error on linux 2.4 kernel

[Nigel Prentice]

Hi,
I also encountered this problem on an older server at my work - RedHat 7.1 (this OS was RIP circa 2002).
It can be circumvented by commenting out the "argv=np_extra_opts(...)" line. This function allows the inclusion of additional command line options from an external config file. But we will have to live without it.
I can't find the root of the problem, but it seems to involve the included kernel headers. I have studied the cpp pre-processor output but can't see the fault :-(  I'm just not experienced enough.
