Well have installed earlier but didn't have that issue before - have anybody an idea about what to do????

Answer 1

Well, not sure really. It's obvious that it searches for a user nagios, and couldn't find it. Solution to that is to change the makefile, ie like
sed -e 's/nagios/your_user_name/g' < makefile
... to change the user nagios to an existing user (you?). Or you could try and create nagios user.
It seems it wants to install in nagios in the user nagions folder on /usr/local, which doesn't exist. Then it seems it selects root/... folder instead, which it doesn't seem to like. My best bet would be to download the program again, the latest version of course, redo the procedure and set ./configure --prefix=/usr.
Not sure if this was of any help, but at least it's a reply
