Error compiling Nagios 3 on CentOS 6.2 minimal

[Meyer, Bruce]

My co-worker (Thanks Frank) Recommended I put a symlink to those two
errant files. I did, and it compiled.

For anyone that reads this in the future, in case a better fix isn't
offered, here is what I did:

I switched to:
/usr/lib/
Created "/perl5/CORE"

So I have the path:
/usr/lib/perl5/CORE

I cd into it, and issue:
 ln -s /usr/lib64/perl5/CORE/perl.h
 ln -s /usr/lib64/perl5/CORE/EXTERN.h

No errors (at least at this point!)
