Cheers Ton, forgot to post back to say id caught that in the end and
got it compiled, but, im seeing problems with check_nagios which is
what i was building the plugins for.

Ive got it running on 2 FreeBSD machines with no problems, but on this
Solaris 7 box im getting

bash-3.1# /apps/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -F
/apps/nagios/var/status.dat -e 300 -C /apps/nagios/bin/nagios
NAGIOS CRITICAL: Could not locate a running Nagios process!

And trying with just "nagios" as the command...

bash-3.1# /apps/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -F
/apps/nagios/var/status.dat -e 300 -C nagios
NAGIOS CRITICAL: Could not locate a running Nagios process!

But its definately running, im thinking its using the wrong flags for
ps or something?

bash-3.1# ps -ef |grep nagios
  nagios  8048 23960  0 16:00:40 ?        0:00 /apps/nagios/bin/nagios
