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...

Well, the 64 bit issue was a red herring. I am still not a 100% sure what my issue was but here's what I think: It was all a problem with NFS mounted drives. I have a base system and several of my remote hosts find their executibles by NFS mounts on the relevant dirs. I was trying to install from one such machine and that's when I had these problems. I went back and tried on the home-machine where these NFS mounts reside and it all worked. No idea why! The only suspicion I have is some soft-links business. These don't span the NFS mounts I remember. -- Rahul
