Is that possible? What is the output of the following > I'm on my umpteenth nagios implementation on FreeBSD and I've never had a problem installing. However, I note that the OS version is old (Legacy Release is 6.3 and Release is 7.0) and I suspect that the package may be newer than the OS and not supported on this version or architecture. I normally use the ports system which will build the application for the installed system. To do so you must first ensure that you have the ports tree installed, see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html. Then cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios # for version 3 or cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios2 # for version 2 or cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios12 # for version 1.2
then type: make install clean This will either build the correct binaries for your machine or fail if the port is not supported on your architecture. Please note: I have only ever used FreeBSD/nagios on 32 bit intel Intel so YMMV.
