Nesus 2.0 installation on RH 9

[Francis Ancheta]

I recently installed Nessus 2.0 on RH9 and installed all libraries needed. When I try to add a user using "nessus-adduser" the following error occurs. "executing nessusd failed. Make sure your library loader is configured properly and that nessusd is in your $path". Any help is appreciated.

Additional info: The following error appeared before the later. "nessusd: error while loading shared libraries: libnasl.so.2: cannot open sahred object file: No such file or directory". Path and library is present.

Hi Francis,

Did you follow standard installations instructions ? Latest nessus (2.07 ?)
You should run nessus-adduser being root (and getting roo from user through 'su - root' and not 'su' or 'su root'.

Hello, I followed all instructions. Infact I used the "old boring way" to install it. Because the script I downloaded won't work.

Yes, I am using the latest version of Nessus. At first the gtk+ libraries won't install then I added the development tools of Xwindows, only then did it install.

Actually I logged into the system using Root. Do I need to issue "SU - " again before I run the script?

... I found the problem ... missed out one instruction. The path to libnasl.so.2 is not present in /etc/ld.so.conf my mistake.
