That's pretty unusual. I've never seen a 'configure' without any output.

I've got 2 ideas:

1) Check if their is a 'config.log' in the directory. Does it have any 
content?

2) Do a strace like this: "strace ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --
with-nagios-group=nagios". What does it say? It will give you a lot of output 
and it's only for the experienced user.
