Nagios installation problem

[sudhakar pallam]

Hi,
I installed Nagios and plugins also by going through the documentation. I
installed Nagios 2.10 and Nagios Plugins 1.4.11
But, the problem is when i tried to run nagios in debug mode using the
command  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios –v
/usr/local/nagios/etc/init.d/nagios.cfg
It resulted in an error.
I installed Nagios in redhat linux enterprise edition.
And one more thing that i observed after installing Plugins is,
The configuration files i got in the etc directory are not named sample. Is
there anything to with this.
Can any one help me out in this regard....
