[check_postgres] check_postgres make test failing

[McGinley, Jamie]

Support,
                I've been trying to complete the script installation for a couple days with no success. We are a SUSE SLES 11 & 12 Linux System z installation running under IBM z/VM. Our PostgreSQL guest machine is running fine but we need to monitor it as it's growing in size and use. I have installed Nagios 3.0.6 and want to incorporate check_postgres.pl to aid in the monitoring of our databases. I've been working on mainframe s/w for over 25 years but my Linux is a little lite. I do have access to the Postgres binaries. I also found I had to install the perl-DBI interface but that didn't resolve many errors. Also the test_database_check_postgres folder is empty.

I'm getting make test errors and have not been able to determine the cause. I found someone else on the internet would encountered the same problem but they never posted the resolution. I'm getting the following errors:

I have attached the entire log to this email.

The other post I found is located at:
https://mail.endcrypt.com/pipermail/check_postgres-announce/2013-April/000031.html

That person was trying to run make test in a 64bit Centos 6.3 system. Is it because our Linux is 64bit?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Jamie
