I’ve come across the ndoutils but when I try to ./configure the install it keeps telling me that it can’t find the mysql library’s. I have tried the –-with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql and I’ve checked that the library does indeed exist there. Any ideas on how to get this installed? Or is there a better way of outputting nagios’s email alerts into mysql? Thanks in advance Tristan </div> <hr> Micro Peripherals Limited.
