Found this already on EL6 earlier this year, afair it's an incompatibility of used header files during compilation between nagios and check-mk-livestatus


Workaround: throw away nagios/check-mk combination as looking no longer proper supported and switch to naemon

Comment 1 Andrea Veri 2018-06-01 14:23:51 UTC

Peter, the problem you're having is not related to livestatus being built against the wrong Nagios headers, that was fixed ages ago (on EL6 too since the time Nagios 4 was pushed to the repositories), the problem you're probably facing is related to [1][2]. I'd suggest opening a bug upstream about that [3]. Please have a look at whether you have empty values on host definitions on your check_mk_objects.cfg file.

Hi Andrea,

Is there any other BZ Ticket open related to the missing RPM dependency to "boost-system"?

Comment 3 Andrea Veri 2018-07-04 10:10:49 UTC

Mario,

yes, it's https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1585166. A fixed package was released already.

EPEL 7 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-06-30.\n\nEPEL 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it\nwill not receive any further security or bug fix updates.\n As a result we are closing this bug.
