However, when run "./1-prereqs". below error got

May i know how to solve the problem?

I'm working with CentOS5.4, perhaps some of the pkg names have /not-been/ changed. The distribution is source, so if you get all the correct pkgs installed and they are new enough to have the features Nagios xi uses, this should be possible.

You may have to install some pkgs from 5.4 to get features missing in 5.2
