How can we guess? You don't say what specific problem you're
experiencing.

NRPE 2.x is not backwards compatible with NRPE 1.x if that's what you're
trying. You can't mix and match an NRPE2 client with an NRPE1 server or
vice-versa.

NRPE is a standalone application and isn't included with the plugins
available on Sourceforge. The packager of the plugins you installed must
have included it as a courtesy. The source for NRPE is downloadable from
http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php. As to whether compiling from
scratch will help depends entirely on the specific problem you are
experiencing.
