Monitoring switches via SNMP --

[Andrew Davis]

I would agree... get all the relevant devel and necessary library 
packages. For some plugins, you can straight into the plugins directory 
and compile that one plugin (once all the pre-reqs are there), then copy 
the binary to your libexec folder. I had to do this with a client with 
mysql. Initially it didn't have mysql, so the test wasn't compiled. I 
installed mysql including the dev pkgs and libs, then dropped into the 
~nagios-plugins/plugins folder and did a "make check_mysql.c", then 
copied the check_mysql binary to my libexec folder and all was fine...
