I recently had a problem with the configure script from perfparse running properly so that I could 'make install' it to work with Nagios 2.10 on latest CentOS 4.x + RPMForge (see http://readlist.com/lists/centos.org/centos/5/28966.html). Thinking it was a problem that was a result of "yum remove gd", I formatted the box and reinstalled everything. Now, oddly, I still have the same problem, and unlike before (before running "yum remove gd"), I cannot configure it without getting the following error:
*************************************************** *************************************************** "checking for gdlib-config... /usr/bin/gdlib-config checking for gdMalloc in -lgd... no configure: error: required library libgd unusable. Install required and dependent files and rerun configure. See config.log or FAQs for details." *************************************************** ***************************************************
The part of the config.log which looks relevant to the problem is the following:
*************************************************** *************************************************** | /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ | #ifdef __cplusplus | extern "C" | #endif | /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | char gdMalloc (); | int | main () | { | gdMalloc (); | ; | return 0; | } configure:26962: result: no configure:26974: error: required library libgd unusable. Install required and dependent files and rerun configure. See config.log or FAQs for details. *************************************************** ***************************************************
and in the configure script, this pertains to the error as well
*************************************************** ***************************************************
LIBS="-lgd $LIBS"
else { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: required library libgd unusable. Install required and dependent files and rerun configure. See config.log or FAQs for details." >&5 echo "$as_me: error: required library libgd unusable. Install required and dependent files and rerun configure. See config.log or FAQs for details." >&2;} { (exit 1); exit 1; }; } fi
*************************************************** ***************************************************
Any suggestions? This was working (in that I could ./configure, just not "make && make install") before I removed gd, and once I formatted and reinstalled everything fresh, none of it works. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

This is information which would have helped first, so we wouldn't provide you with unhelpful recomendations.
What I'd like to see out of the config.log is where it includes the gd files, not where it tries to call the gdmalloc. It's going to be one of two things. You're either missing a specific file (or version of the file) or nagios is looking in a place other than where it is on your system. In either case, this should be identifiable either in the config.log or in the configure script itself.

As the configure output shows, /usr/bin/gdlib-config is there. There is nothing to install to get /usr/bin/gdlib-config.
You have to look at config.log to find the actual reason.

When we went through this a few weeks ago and this looks like the same problem: missing libXpm.so.

Those are there:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.11 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4
So, I'm wondering if something isn't linked properly? Someone else emailed me and said that it works on CentOS, as long as you symlink (ln -s) the right files. I'm wondering if it's referencing something incorrectly, and I'll need to add another symlink to the right library?

One is provided by libXpm, which you have, but the file you need is provided by libXpm-devel, which you don't.

No. You should fix your yum config.
I'm not going to comment on fixing it at this point. I've never allowed dag/freshrpms on my systems so I'm not familiar with the implications.

Don't get sidetracked. The error message is explicit and the evidence is clear. You are missing libXpm.so, which is in the libXpm-devel package.

Which version or centos are you using again? libXpm-devel is for centos 5. For centos 4 it's a different package.

No. For centos4 you need xorg-x11-libs and xorg-x11-devel.

Both of those are already installed from yum also.
rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-1.EL.33 xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.33 xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.33
Fixed it: The config.log showed it pointing to stuff that was in libjped-devel and libpng-devel, not libgd. Once yum'd those, I could ./configure ok.
