I am aware of RPM but I was kind of hoping for something like a definitive
RPM list - well, um, kind of like is provided on the Nessus FAQ for SuSE but
for Red Hat instead.


Thanks

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

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
