Thanks for including that in the original e-mail.

Edit daemoncheck.c to change --

#include "../common/config.h"
#include "../common/common.h"
#include "../common/locations.h"
#include "../cgi/cgiutils.h"
#include "../cgi/getcgi.h"

... to

#include "../include/config.h"
#include "../include/common.h"
#include "../include/locations.h"
#include "../include/cgiutils.h"
#include "../include/getcgi.h"

... then

cd ~nagios-src && ./configure --params-here && make cgis && cd contrib
&& gcc -o daemonchk.cgi daemonchk.c ../cgi/getcgi.o  

$ ./daemonchk.cgi 
NAGIOS CRITICAL - could not find status log:
/usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat

Note that the Makefile has this comment so YMMV. The implication is that
Dag may be using a 'special' version. I'd give it a try anyway though --

daemonchk.cgi: 
        @echo "This doesn't work with Nagios 2.x yet..."

Another alternative is to contact your package provider and ask them not
to modify the init scripts to require non-standard and non-supported
programs, especially if they're not including them. daemoncheck.cgi is
not used by the standard init scripts, or anything else related to the
distribution. I'm a bit surprised that Dag is doing that.
