Yes, it's a filesystem links!

So, that's was my way :
./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/include
--enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --prefix=/usr/local/nagios
--sysconfdir=/etc/nagios --localstatedir=/var/nagios
--with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=/nagios
--with-command-group=/nagcmd 
make install-init 
make install-commandmode 
make install-config

Could I just make install-cgi now, it's not to late????

Do you means that the aren't graphs by default?
