Dell OpenManage Plugin for Nagios-Core with CentOS and Nagios rpm

Hey guys. I encountered the same issue today, and I managed to come up with a work around.

I'm under Ubuntu so the detailed filename(s) may be different. But the method is universal.

Here's what I do:

# mkdir -p /opt/fakeroot/nagios/bin
# cd /opt/fakeroot/nagios
# ln -s /usr/sbin/nagios3 bin/nagios
# ln -s /usr/share/nagios3/htdocs share
# ln -s /var/lib/nagios3 var
# ln -s /etc/nagios3 etc

And tell the install.sh /opt/fakeroot/nagios  is the installed location of nagios.

The plugin is then installed under /opt/fakeroot/nagios/dell, config written to /etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg and  KnowlegeBase installed under /usr/share/nagios3/htdocs. Everything works magically.
