For some reason I am unable to install NRPE onto a CentOS release 4.7. I had to rename Makefile.in to Makefile just to get the “make all” command to work. But when I go to use “make install” I get the following error message.

# make install-plugin
cd ./src/ && make install-plugin
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/nrpe-2.12/src’
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `install-plugin’. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/nrpe-2.12/src’
make: *** [install-plugin] Error 2

I am running this command as root and I ran the ./configure.
