I think there's a problem in the dates on some of the automake-ish
files in the 1.3-beta1 distribution (which I reported to the
nagiosplug-devel list earlier today).

The "cd . &&" command is trying to run automake or aclocal, which
you likely don't have on your system.

Try this, which worked for me on a couple of machines:

    gunzip < nagiosplug-1.3-beta1.tar.gz | tar xf -
    cd nagiosplug-1.3-beta1
    touch aclocal.m4; sleep 1
    touch Makefile.in; sleep 1
    touch configure; sleep 1
    ./configure
    gmake

Doing the "touch" commands avoids having make want to run automake
and friends.

Cheers!
