nagiosgraph installation error

Question

I'm trying to install nagiosgraph where my nagios system works perfectly fine. Downloaded nagiosgraph-1.5.0.tar.gz, unpacked it and issued ./install.pl --check-prereq It gives me

*** one or more problems were detected!

I verified nagios configuration /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg and gave me no errors

Answer 1

Install the package libnagios-object-perl as well as package librrds-perl.

This is assuming you are running Debian.

Answer 2

If you are using CentOS, just follow these steps:

Install CPAN if you haven't installed it yet.

yum -y install perl-CPAN

The install the module with cpan

cpan Nagios::Config

Press yes when asking to install dependencies..

That's it you got the perl module.

Answer 3

My solution is ;

Only installing yum install perl-Nagios-Object

Before: Nagios::Config... FAIL

after: Nagios::Config...36

good luck

Answer 4

Got the same error, while doing the pre-check to install nagiosgraph ( ./install.pl --check-prereq )

/root/nagiosgraph/nagiosgraph-1.5.2 # ./install.pl --check-prereq

Even after installing all the pre-requisites I could find around the net:

yum install perl-rrdtool perl-GD
yum -y install perl-GD php-gd rrdtool-perl rrdtool-php rrdtool perl-CGI perl-Time-HiRes
yum install perl-Nagios-Plugin

Looking I got to this page: http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28276 But when followed their step to fix the error:

1) perl -MCPAN -e shell
2) install Nagios::Config

I got another error:

Checking prerequisites...
 - ERROR: Test::Exception is not installed
 - ERROR: List::Compare is not installed

ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES.  You may wish to install the versions

Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue of modules we are processing right now? [yes]

Here, I entered "yes" and then I got prompted for more dependencies down the road, to which I answered "yes" to all of them.

Finally got to:

Installing /usr/local/bin/statusdat_demo.pl
  DUNCS/Nagios-Object-0.21.20.tar.gz
  ./Build install  -- OK

So I'm good to continue installing nagiosgraph. Hope it helps.
