I am the maintainer of the Nagios package in EPEL so I may be able to help here.
I am guessing you are downloading the nagioscore zip file from the github?

The default nagios configure will put things in many 'strange' places
which may work on some sort of BSD but do not work with most of the
Linux. There are a lot of configure options one needs to pass which
are in the src.rpm spec file which you can see at
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nagios/tree/master
I hate to say this but a make install may have pushed files and
permissions all over this system so you are going to need to either
spend some time cleaning or redeploy.
If you want to make an updated rpm because I am not caught up:
yum install epel-releast
yum install fedpkg
fedpkg clone --anonymous nagios
cd nagios
fedpkg switch-branch epel7
fedpkg srpm
[This will make a src.rpm of the latest code.]
download the source code you want.
edit the spec file to point to the new src code.
check to see if a patch-0000 is turned on in the spec file. If it is
comment it out as it will contain a src diff to the maintenance
upstream branch
fedpkg mockbuild
start debugging what might have not worked or you will have fixed rpms

There is an update in epel-testing. I am looking for people to test it
so I can push it to stable.
