No errors were produced by ./configure

make all does throw a bunch of SSL errors of the sort:

/usr/include/openssl/bn.h:287: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list
before ‘BN_ULONG’
/usr/include/openssl/bn.h:303: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list
before ‘BN_ULONG’
/usr/include/openssl/bn.h:449: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’,
‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘BN_mod_word’
/usr/include/openssl/bn.h:450: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’,
‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘BN_div_word’
/usr/include/openssl/bn.h:451: error: expected declaration specifiers or
‘...’ before ‘BN_ULONG’
make[1]: *** [nrpe] Error 1

Again, I suspect somehow it is not finding my SSL libraries? (the config.log
for nagiosplugins does say so)

All my older nodes had nrpe-2.8. Is it ok to mix nrpe versions?
NRPE versions are only relevant to the remote_clients, right? It does not
matter what version of nagios and nagiosplugins  I have installed on my
monitoring host?
