With the help of someone who e-mailed me off the list and pointed out that
the next_devpty function in ptycall.c was missing the closing brace, I was
able to get nessus-libraries to compile by simply adding the brace.
Whoever maintains this, regardless of whether or not it's removed from
nessus, would probably want to correct that.
Unfortunately, I encountered another problem compiling nessus-core. I
included the error snippet below. I checked out the out_graph function,
and it doesn't appear to be defined anywhere.there's a call for it in both
html_graph_chart.c and as well as gdchart0.94b/gdchart.c, but the only
mention of it anywhere else is the int GDC_out_graph in gdchart.h, which
doesn't really seem to do anything to me. What do ya'll think? Any
suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks allot.

Does of the programs executed by ptyexecvp() (as far as I can tell, all
wrapper plugins use it) need a terminal (or a pseudoterminal)? If the
answer is no, you can get rid of ptycall.c. But I think it would be better
to use "manual" pipe()+fork()+exec*() instead of popen() because popen()
(unlike ptyexecvp()) executes a shell and I do not think it would be a
good idea to open the can of worms labelled "Shell Metacharacter".
