[Nagiosplug-devel] aix 5.2 compilation of nagios-plugin fails

[Trevor Warren]

Hello there folks,

   I have been integrating Nagios for about 2-3 years now and really
find it a fantastic tool from Open Source when compared to the likes
of BMC patrol and Tivoli.
  
  I am trying to compile some nagios plugins on my AIX 5.2 servers
which i am polling via nrpe. But the compilation seems to fail with
the following errors:

Making all in plugins

  I have looked about a lot and even found someone called eric who
might have had the same  issues. He says in his mail that he has
written a patch. Guys/Gals, is there a way i can get over this
issue???.  I have tried all version of nagios-plugin but all of them
fail to compile both on my 32/64 bit aix 5.2 boxes.

  Do lemme know what you suggest and i shall try the same out.

Trevor
