To get Nessus working on Redhat 9 I needed to download and install the following RPMs from www.redhat.com (they may have been on the CD's but since I'm remote to the systems it was easier to get them from Redhat directly). We use a paired down install of Redhat so you may not need all of these:
sharutils-4.2.1-14.i386.rpm glib-devel-1.2.10-10.i386.rpm freetype-devel-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm fontconfig-devel-2.1-9.i386.rpm XFree86-devel-4.3.0-2.i386.rpm gtk+-devel-1.2.10-25.i386.rpm gdk-pixbuf-0.18.0-7.i386.rpm To install these packages simply use: rpm -i <package name> . What you can do is start by installing sharutils then run the nessus-installer script again and it will tell you if you need another package and so on until you have all of the dependencies.

Follow the given instructions. Install the sharutils package. It is after all on your 3 CD set. Hugo. -- All email sent to me is bound to the rules described on my homepage.
