I have slowly been making progress on compiling nrpe on a solaris 8
machine.  At first it wouldn't compile so I added the gcc package
along with autoconf, automake, and make packages from
www.freesunware.com.  I have been able to run ./configure in the
nrpe-2.0 directory.  And I get a lot of yes answers when it runs and a
couple of no.

My Path is set as this:
PATH=.:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/include

When I run ./configure from the nrpe-2.0 directory this is the output:

bash-2.03# ./configure

bash-2.03# 

Then I run make -f Makefile.in and this is what it says:

bash-2.03# make -f Makefile.in
cd ./src/; make ; cd ..
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/adespain/nrpe-2.0/src'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/adespain/nrpe-2.0/src'

*** Compile finished ***

If the NRPE daemon and client compiled without any errors, you
can continue with installation.  The NRPE daemon and client
binaries are located in the src/ subdirectory.

 ** If this is your monitoring host **

     - Copy the check_nrpe client to the directory that
       contains your Nagios plugins.
     - Create a command definition in your Nagios config
       file for the NRPE client.  See the README file for
       more info on doing this.

 ** If this host will be running the NRPE daemon **

     - Copy the nrpe daemon to /usr/sbin, /usr/local/nagios
       or wherever you feel it fits best.
     - Copy the sample nrpe.cfg config file to /etc,
       /usr/local/nagios or wherever you feel it fits best.
     - Modify the /etc/services file and configure NRPE to
       run under inetd, xinetd, or as a standalone daemon.
       See the README file for more info on doing this.

bash-2.03# 

The line that says 

make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

seems to be my problem and I can't figure out why it is saying this. 
Does anyone have any experience compiling nrpe-2.0 on a solaris 8
sparc box?  I would greatly appreciate any help on this!!  Thanks in
advance.
