Re: [suse-security] Installing Nessus on SuSE 9.0

[suse@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi there Gian.

I have downloaded nessus from www.nessus.org and have a
similar problem with installing Nessus 2.0.12 (and 2.1.1) on
SuSE 8.1.

My install could not find libXi, which is in the X11R6
directory.

I got nessus working by using the ./configure --disable-gtk
option while compiling nessus-core.

Obviously the GUI doesn't work.

But at least it's given me something to work with.

Also, the nessus-update-plugins script needs to be made
executable, in nessus-plugins dir.

Would be handy to have an up to date RPM version of
nessus that just installs a compiled version!

PS - I can't even find gtk2-devel on the 8.1 CD-ROM!
