sh: /check_ping: No such file or directory

[Lori Adams]

You error message tells you that it's a permissions problem.  This may
have something to do with your ./configure arguments for user and group
having a leading '/'.  (See Marc Powell's response).  It looks like your
nagios instance is running as user '3nagios'.  Try running ./configure
again.
