First and foremost, you hijacked an existing thread by replying to it
with regards to a completely different issue.  Please don't do this, it
confuses mail clients which follow thread references.  Please don't hit
reply on unrelated messages and start a new/unrelated discussion.

i don't know wtf you are talking about these are all my threads.


Secondly, the missing library error shown above would happen on machines
running FreeBSD 6.x or earlier.  /lib/libz.so.4 exists on RELENG_7.


i am still on freeBSD 6.3  is this a serious problem?

Another possibility is that something completely destroyed ld.so's
shared library cache path.  Of course, you'd be seeing all sorts of
programs reporting missing libraries, and not just nexxus.


so running freeBSD 6.3 is a fatal problem, or just extraneously
irrelevant?

If the startup script for nessus calls ldconfig or uses
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH, that could explain the missing library.
