Problem compiling nessus-2.2.2a on DEBIAN/SELinux kernel 2.6.9

[MJ Roy]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to linux and brand new to NESSUS, so I apologize for such a 
simple message.
I also am new to this type of messaging / forum system, so I apologize if 
this message is sent in the wrong context or manner.

I am running the latest distro of DEBIAN, the Woody distro, with a custom 
compiled kernel, the NSA SELinux 2.6.9 kernel. I have also installed some 
other small applications that are the latest verisions:

Apache
ProCPS
libpcap
tcpdump
iptable
gcc (latest version 3.4.3)

and some more.

I tried to install NESSUS and followed the directions, to install the four 
components in order as follows:

nessus-libraries-x.x.tar.gz
libnasl-x.x.tar.gz
nessus-core.x.x.tar.gz
nessus-plugins.x.x.tar.gz

the first two compiled and installed correctly, but the third one, the 
"nessus-core.2.2.2a.tar.gz" has man errors when i run the "make" command.


I would really appreciate it if you could help me to get this installed.

One more thing, I do not know how to check for replies since I am emailing 
this message to "nessus at list.nessus.org," so if somebody could email me and 
tell me where I can go to check for replies to this post, I would really 
appreciate it. Thanks so much for your time.


Here is the log of what i get:
