existing zlib library not detected

Hello Nessus users,

I am trying to run nessus on a fedora 9 system. I have the latest
versions of zlib and libcrypto installed, yet when I try to install with
RPM it says it can't find libcrypto.so.7, libssl.so.7, and libz.so.1,
all of which exist, can be found by ld, and are being used by other
software.

I forced the install with -nodeps, however when I run nessusd it fails
on libz.so.1 . I've added sym links, I've added an LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I've
tried compiling zlib from source but nothing works.

Where does nessusd look for its libraries, and any ideas on a fix?

Regards,

Greg

Hi Greg,

You probably did not download the Fedora 9 package, but a RPM for an
other version of Fedora (or another Linux distribution altogether).

You need to install the official Fedora 9 package for a seamless
installation.

Thanks,

Actually, I got this to work by following this:

http://hacktux.com/fedora/9/flash

It may not look applicable, but the section on installing ndiswrapper
fixes the issue.

Greg

We do not offer a 64 bits binary for Nessus on Fedora 9 (yet). What you
should do is to install the 32 bits compatibility libraries on your
system, and Nessus should install properly at that point.

Thanks,
