Nagios SSL/NRPE problem

[slacker9876]

Hello Everyone,
I have just finished buting my workstation and wanted to get Nagios up and running which is actually OK. However, localhost cannot be monitored because I need to have the NRPE configured. When trying to install it:

checking for SSL headers... configure: error: Cannot find ssl headers

is all I get, I have verified that both openssl and libssl are installed. Can I get a little help on this one?

TIA!!

Hi,

Try with

./configure --with-ssl=<absolute-path-to-ssl> --with-ssl-lib=<absolute-path-to-ssl-lib>

Example:

./configure --with-ssl=/usr/bin/openssl --with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

If the above doesn't work, install the libssl-dev package via apt and try the configure with the directives above.

Worked for me !

This worked for me.

"./configure --with-ssl=/usr/bin/openssl --with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib"
After installing libssl-dev

I hit that snag myself once. The check_http plugin requires the SSL development library to make checks against pages that load via HTTPS (I believe it was libssl-dev).

apt-get install libssl-dev

... and then redo the make/install steps just for the plugins if you were installing from source. They have to be recompiled with libssl-dev present.

Same here, libssl-dev was missing. Thanks!
