Just to let you know i solved my little problem. It was an oversight on 
my own part. Apparently i had pieces of an apt-get install of nagios2 on 
my system
when i did the make install it had thrown in the mysql.so modules from 
perfparse into that folder instead of the source install i did of 
nagios2. For some reason the rest of the modules installed into the 
/usr/local/nagios folder however

Anyhow thanks again for all the help previously i really appreciated it.
So just a reference for apt users don't leave any remanants behind of 
nagios from apt
