RHEL9 fails with ERR_get_error_line_data

Hello,

I'm trying to install nrpe-4.0.3 from source code on RHEL9 and install . Also I'm facing similiar issue in Ubuntu 22.04 as well.

openssl-3.0.1-43.el9_0.x86_64

Review the options above for accuracy.  If they look okay,
type 'make all' to compile the NRPE daemon and client
or type 'make' to get a list of make options.

In the make command

make all

Hej Jay,
I can confirm your problem with 4.0.3, but I had no problem compiling nrpe v4.1.0 on RHEL9.1 bye , Stefan

Great this version nrpe v4.1.0 worked like a charm. Thanks for the pointer.
