Hi: I installed nagios 2.9 on Centos 4 using the dag repository: /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo --8<------------- [dag] name=CentOS-4 Dag's baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 [root@mail2 --8<-------------
here's the info:
rpm -qi nagios Name : nagios Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.9 Vendor: Dag Apt Repository, http ://dag.wieers.com/apt/ Release : 1.el4.rf Build Date: Sun 15 Apr 2007 02:57:33 PM ART Install Date: Fri 22 Jun 2007 12:09:56 PM ART Build Host: lisse.leuven.wiee rs.com Group : Applications/System Source RPM: nagios-2.9-1.el4.rf.src. rpm Size : 4972761 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Mon 16 Apr 2007 06:01:49 AM ART, Key ID a20e52146b8d79e6 Packager : Dag Wieers dag@wieers.com URL : http://www.nagios.org/ Summary : Open Source host, service and network monitoring program Description : Nagios is an application, system and network monitoring application. It can escalate problems by email, pager or any other medium. It is also useful for incident or SLA reporting.
Nagios is written in C and is designed as a background process, intermittently running checks on various services that you specify.
The actual service checks are performed by separate "plugin" programs which return the status of the checks to Nagios. The plugins are located in the nagios-plugins package.
regards, osvaldo

I then followed the CentOS 4 instructions at http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/RPMForge but "yum install nagios" gives me the following error.

See how it still has the .el5.rf in there? Yum is still pulling in the el5 packages. Double check your /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo file to see if it spells out version 5. Also you will likely have to clear the yum cache. 'yum clean all' should do the trick.
