check_nrpe is a c source file, you have to ./configure, make then make
install the nrpe tree.

The errors you got were from the shell trying to interpret the header of
the file, which start with something like:

/*
 * some text
 * ...

"/*" matched "/bin <other files/dirs in / as arguments>"

"*" matched the first file in your current directory, which was
"centeron.cfg" plug any other files there as arguments.

etc...
