New install - nagios-2.0b3

[Albert Whale]

I am running Mandrake 10.1, and had installed the Nagios-2.0a1 release 
from Mandrake, which also dod nit work.

Here is my issues, a stock (textbook - from the Docs) indicates that the 
is complete, and clean:

 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the 
pre-flight check

In the configuration directory I have the following:
[/etc/nagios] ls
bigger.cfg-sample         minimal.cfg-sample       passwd
cgi.cfg-sample            misccommands.cfg         resource.cfg
checkcommands.cfg         misccommands.cfg-sample  resource.cfg-sample
checkcommands.cfg-sample  nagios.cfg
minimal.cfg               nagios.cfg-sample


However,when I attempt to start the processing, I get the following:
[/usr/local/nagios/var] tail nagios.log
[1117077252] Nagios 2.0b3 starting... (PID=16357)
[1117077252] LOG VERSION: 2.0
[1117077252] Bailing out due to one or more errors encountered in the 
configuration files.  Run Nagios from the command line with the -v 
option to verify your config before restarting. (PID=16357)

Talk about a vicious cycle!

Does anyone have a suggestion at what I need to review next?  Obviously 
the overview process is missing something here.
