But it doesn't find libz with proper version, which is needed by libgd.

Ofcourse it doesn't work when nagmin puts it in configuration files 
instead of in the proper database. You need to check the documentation 
again and create and configure tables to store the hostextinfo in.

This is not a problem for the nagiosplug-devel mailinglist (nothing of 
this mail is, but this isn't even related to nagios). Send an email to 
the nagmin user- or devel-list.

You're welcome. Oh, and btw. Please don't post a bunch of attachments to 
the list. Using plaintext emails should work the best and clutter things 
the least.
