RE: [Nagios-db-devel] Error loading module

[Michael H. <mic...@ax...>]

I was eventually able to compile a module which loaded into Nagios and
initialised correctly, but it complained that it wasn't able to clear
the configuration. Try as I might, I just couldn't get it to work.

I downloaded and installed MySQL and tried the MySQL NEB module.
I had to add zlib to the list of libraries during compilation but after
that it worked with no problems.

Thanks to Ben and Thibault for your help, and to Matthew Kent for
writing
the MySQL module.
