I am trying to install nrpe plugin on ubuntu 12.04, however I am facing issue with ssl libraries. I tried installing "libcurl3-openssl-dev" package, however when I try to compile nrpe plugin after installing this package I am facing issue saying "cannot find ssl libraries".

Could anyone please shade some light on this?

Thanking you,

Regards, Gaurav.

If you're running on 64-bit:

./configure --with-ssl=/usr/bin/openssl --with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

For whatever reason the configure script for nrpe doesn't seem to be able to find where libssl-dev installs the libraries. You can find where Ubuntu puts them with

apt-file list libssl-dev

  • Hi, thanks for your answer. I have tried the above options by compiling the nrpe plugin by giving the exact path of the ssl libraries. It gets compiled, however I am unable to locate check_nrpe in "/usr/local/nagios/libexec" & the result command "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost" fails saying "connection refused by host". Have opened 5666 port in /etc/services, however its not showing the details in netstat -at | grep nrpe or 5666. Kindly help me for the same. – user2614425 Jul 25 '13 at 04:24
  • I've never done this but http://kurinchilamp.kurinchilion.com/2009/04/nagios-nrpe-host-server-and-client-on-centos-ubuntu.html indicates that you may need to copy the nrpe and nrpe_check binaries to the right locations from the src directory by hand. – Paul Kehrer Jul 25 '13 at 12:54

    Installing package `libssl-dev` fixed mine (Debian Stretch). – cartoonist Dec 14 '17 at 21:02

Ubuntu:

Run this:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

centos:

Run this:

yum install -y openssl-devel

I keep facing with issue of Hash Sum mismatch with apt-get update with the default sources list.

By just changing to another mirror which is close to where I am, I can finally install the libssl-dev.
