general inquiry of method of install for Nagios 3.1.2 on Fedora 9 system

[Natalie Aloi]

Hi, I am trying to get nagios 3.x to install - I was attempting to upgrade from 2.11 but found too many problems, so I am attempting a new install on a different server - this way no conflicts, etc. I am relatively new to unix/linux so bear with me. I have installed fedora 9 on a server and am kind of familiar with yum and rpm which sure makes life easier for the newbie  But I can't seem to locate an rpm for the latest release of Nagios ver 3.1.2. My question is what problems, if any, might I encounter just installing the tar ball for nagios and the plugins to get nagios 3.x up & operational vs using an older version of nagios 3.0.6 that has an rpm file associated with it?

thanks!
Natalie
