libnessus.so.1 missing

[Terje Tollisen]

Thanks for your reply George.
It seems like my mail program chopped off my previous post (including the directory list and more questions), sorry about that.

By the way, I’m installing nessus 2.0.7 on a SuSE Linux (didn’t find the os vers nr)

I installed nessus by hand both times. I unpacked the tarballs in /home/terje/nessusdownload, and did the ./configure, make, make install from the directories created. I used no precompiled packages and no packet manager.

I didn’t specify a prefix. How/why do I specify this?

/usr/local/lib contains “libnasl.so -> libnasl.so.2.0.7” and “libnasl.so.2”, and other files (listed at the end of my post) but not “libnasl.so.1” It might be somewhere else, but I haven’t found it.

How can I get “libnasl.so.1” where it is supposed to be, and make nessus see it (I assume I can’t just copy it in there).

I have a feeling this is not going to be easy, so does anybody know about a detailed installation/configuration guide for ignorant windows guys like myself (with a bit more detail and even explanations for each step).

I’ll look through my log from the installation for any errors.
(I can only find config.log files, but I sent all output from the ./configure, make, make install to a text file. Are there any actual logfiles of the entire installation?)

Thanks for your time,’

-Terje, thinking, why is this not as easy as last time I installed nessus ;-)

I found someone making a suggestion to look at the file bindings (but it doesn’t tell me much)
