Well first off, both the neb modules aren't quite feature complete. You
have to actually edit the inserter.c code and change the database
connection parameters by hand. You then have to edit the Makefile (in
the same directory) to point it to your mysql header files (usually
you'll need some kind of mysql-dev mysql-devel package installed) and
the nagios sources. You then do a 'make' - it hopefully compiles and you
edit your main nagios.cfg to point to the generated inserter.o file.
