when I run: make distclean ./configure make make test make install the plugins do not copy to /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ -- I've included output from 'make test' & 'make install' below. I know several of the plugins are failing due to dependancies (for example the sql ones) but, I also know others (for example check_http) are compiling. the problem is they are only placed in the compile directory (/root/NAGIOS/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/plugins). Appologies if my questions are nieve - I'm very new to this. any advice is appreciated. thanx....roger [root@localhost nagios-plugins-1.4.5]# make test cd lib && make test make[1]: Entering directory `/root/NAGIOS/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib' cd tests && make test make[2]: Entering directory `/root/NAGIOS/nagios-plugins-1.4.5/lib/tests' perl -MTest::Harness -e '$Test::Harness::switches=""; runtests(map {$_ .= ".t"} @ARGV)' test_utils test_disk test_utils....skipped all skipped: ./test_utils not compiled - please install tap library to test test_disk.....skipped all skipped: ./test_disk not compiled - please install tap library to test All tests successful, 2 tests skipped.
