[Perfparse-users] Install method 4 and error I am receiving.

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I redid my install from scratch.
Trying to follow the FAQ for Method 4:
http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-index.php?page=BuildingMethod4Example

I receive a command that mentions process-host-perfdata and 
process-service-perfdata already defined.

I am installing Nagios 2.0b2 on RHAS3, using perfparse 0.105.5
