Today, I was installing Nagios 4.0.2 version through tarball and while installation I got the issue that is make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../include/locations.h’, needed by `nagios.o’. Stop.
The error occur after I hit the command make all . I have already installed gcc so the error was coming from some other dependency requirement

The below given is the reference of error which I found

[root@localhost nagios-4.0.2]# make all
cd ./base && make
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/nagios-4.0.2/base'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../include/locations.h', needed by `nagios.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/nagios-4.0.2/base'
make: *** [all] Error 2
[root@localhost nagios-4.0.2]#

The solution for this error is ,complete the given below steps

Step 1: Install perl

yum -y install perl perl-devel

Step 2: After installing perl again change to extracted Nagios Directory.And rerun the .configure command. After doing this issue is resolved

cd nagios-4.0.2

./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd

make all
