Installation problems

[Blai01]

I have a problem installing NRPE 3.1.0 in a SUSE Linuxe Enterprise 12 machine.

First I download the nrpe 3.1.0 tar

I decompress it

I cd into its directory

I run:

./configure --disable-ssl --enable-command-args

Then I run:

make all

Response is:

cd ./src/; make
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/nrpe-3.1.0/src'
gcc -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I ../include -I ./../include -o nrpe ./nrpe.c ./utils.c ./acl.c -lnsl

make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/nrpe-3.1.0/src'

NRPE version 3.0.1 installs fine when typing these commands

I cannot reproduce your issue. I followed these steps https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=515#SUSE and downloaded 3.1.0 (https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe/archive/nrpe-3.1.0.tar.gz) and ./configure --disable-ssl --enable-command-args completes fine.

I then ran sudo zypper update to be sure I had the latest version of everything. Even after that I could not reproduce your issue.

A fix has been in the maint branch for a few weeks, and will be released with version 3.1.1 fairly soon.

The fix is to add #include <stdvar.h> to the top of utils.c.
