What's not working?  Did it compile correctly?  Nagios needs some extra 
packages to for all of its features to work.  These can be installed via YUM 
even if you compile Nagios itself from source.

Also, if you install Nagios from source, SELinux will prevent it from doing a 
lot of stuff by default.  However, it's entirely possible to run Nagios with 
SELinux in Enforcing mode with the right policy.

I am the maintainer of the Nagios package in EPEL so I may be able to help here.

I am guessing you are downloading the nagioscore zip file from the github?

The default nagios configure will put things in many 'strange' places
which may work on some sort of BSD but do not work with most of the
Linux. There are a lot of configure options one needs to pass which
are in the src.rpm spec file which you can see at
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nagios/tree/master

I hate to say this but a make install may have pushed files and
permissions all over this system so you are going to need to either
spend some time cleaning or redeploy.

If you want to make an updated rpm because I am not caught up:

yum install epel-releast
yum install fedpkg
fedpkg clone --anonymous nagios
cd nagios
fedpkg switch-branch epel7
fedpkg srpm
[This will make a src.rpm of the latest code.]
download the source code you want.
edit the spec file to point to the new src code.
check to see if a patch- is turned on in the spec file. If it is
comment it out as it will contain a src diff to the maintenance
upstream branch
fedpkg mockbuild
start debugging what might have not worked or you will have fixed rpms
in results/

There is an update in epel-testing. I am looking for people to test it
so I can push it to stable.

Did you also run the rest of the make install commands (install-init, 
install-config, etc.)?  I seem to recall that install-init is the one that sets 
up the services so that "service nagios start" or "systemctl start 
nagios.service" work.

Thanks for your reply


Actually the case is that the compiling  process and make all, make install 
processes didn't report any errors but when I trying to access or start the 
service Nagios it gives me an error stating it's unable to find that service.

This happens with me when I try to manually install the applications from 
source.
Am I missing any important step in the installation process that could be 
causing this issue.

Thanks and Regards,
Abhinay
