[Nagiosplug-help] problems with nagios plugin installation

Hi,

I have installed nagios 2.7 from source using the following tarball
nagios-2.7.tar.gz and using the exact instructions from the attached
"installation document" I donwloaded from nagios.org

 even the */usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
*was not throwing any errors or warnings.

After installing this I tried installing the Nagios plugins from source
tarball i.e. nagios-plugins-1.4.5.tar.gz

But it was throwing errors as in the attachment.

So while I was in the /root/nagiosinstall directory itself, I copied the
nagios plugins rpms and also the dependent rpms and installed them
successfully with -Uvh option.

i.e. nagios-plugins-1.4.5-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm and
perl-Crypt-DES-2.05-3.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
perl-Net-SNMP-5.2.0-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
perl-Socket6-0.19-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm

Problem 1: the Nagios web interface and nagios.log still complains that
plugins are not installed although its installed

# rpm -qav | grep nagios-plugin
nagios-plugins-1.4.5-1.el4.rf

[1170109335] Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'PING' on host

[1170109455] Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'Total
Processes' on host 'localhost' was out of bounds. Make sure the plugin

sts.

problem 2:why are the files *hosts.cfg, services.cfg* not created
automatically and also these entries are commented out in* nagios.cfg *file
**
*cgi.cfg       htpasswd.users  nagios.cfg          resource.cfg
commands.cfg  localhost.cfg   nagios-server.conf*
*
* are the only ones that are created.

Looking forward for your help eagerly.

Thanks in advance.

cheers,
SrikanthM
