Yes, you can use the "rpm" program to install the packages you need from the RedHat 
CDROM.  Look in /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS.

As for "what do I need", it's pretty much a trial and error thing, maybe someone else 
has a more definitive list, but I just attempted a build, and when the build failed it 
usually said what was missing.  Then I would go find that, install it, and try again.

After installing packages from CD, use the Update Agent (KDE menu RedHat/System/Update 
Agent) to bring your system up to date with the latest security patches.

BTW the nessus-installer.sh method of installing nessus works very well, and I would 
recommend that over other method of compiling and installing nessus.

Good luck,
Carl

Subject: Add Linux development tools so I can build Nessus?


I have a Linux Red Hat system that I want install Nessus on but I have
realized that I can't build it because when I installed the OS I didn't
select the development tools as part of the installation package.  Is there
any easy way I can add on what I need without reinstalling Red Hat?

Thanks

What could possibly go wrong?
