Yes, check to ensure gnutls is also installed (rpm -q | grep tls) , and also run "ldconfig -v | grep ssl" and just be sure it can see the openssl-related *.so file(s).... ;)

Thanks Jamie! I'm stumped here am doing all checks possible to sniff out what my problems are!

I am not very sure, but the output below seems to indicate that we have what we need right?

rpm -q gnutls 
gnutls-1.6.3-2.fc8
gnutls-1.6.3-2.fc8

ldconfig -v | grep ssl
        libssl.so.6 -> libssl.so.0.9.8b
        libssl.so.6 -> libssl.so.0.9.8b
        libssl3.so -> libssl3.so
        libgnutls-openssl.so.13 -> libgnutls-openssl.so.13.3.0
        libssl3.so -> libssl3.so
        libgnutls-openssl.so.13 -> libgnutls-openssl.so.13.3.0

>and just be sure it can see the openssl-related *.so file(s).... ;)

ls -al /usr/lib/libgnutls-openssl.so.13.3.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 102572 2007-08-21 16:25 /usr/lib/libgnutls-openssl.so.13.3.0

Hmm..I am not sure what you mean. Is the above a sufficient check? 

Feel free to shoot more suggestions at me, however unlikely! At this point I really am grasping at straws! :-(

In case it matters I am running FC8; pretty standard. Hence I had never expected nrpe to be so difficult to get up and running!

Yes all appears to be in order...  I'm not sure what to tell you there .... The only other thing I can think of is that FC8 is just too old (?)... I don't think there are even updates for it anymore...

You may want to just install FC10 or 11 (Or whatever the most recent is!) - I remember I once setup Nagios on FC10 or 11 and it was a breeze using RPM's for everything, and the Nagios site has good instructions...  (I now use CentOS 5.2 - fedora's release cycle is much too fast, and CentOS is as stable as RHEL for me... 

Sorry I could not be of more help! 

Regards,
Jamie
