I had the same issue and performed the action you have recommended. I have also contacted Renaud Deraison because of the issue. He recommended talking to Suse I have done so. Trying to save a user the aggravation I went through. A lot of time was wasted with Suse tech support. If someone could actually get a report using Suse 9, (without using the Vanilla Kernel, newbies may have a problem) would love to see how the person got it to work. There are too many postings about the issue and all of them go back to everyone was using Suse 9 and it didn't work after all the proper pieces are installed.

Install it and this problem will go away. There may still be problems actually running Nessus on SuSE 9.0 afterwards but they can be solved too. -----Original Message----- From: JR Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 February 2004 14:45 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: errors in installation If you are using Suse 9 change to Redhat. I run both systems and have not gotten it to work I have also contacted Suse and their comment is "You need to contact the developer of the program and have them resolve the issue. After reading the postings, seems the only way to get it to work with Suse is to use a "Vanilla" kernel (Received this info from a previous post that I did with the same issue.) Suse is no help in this matter. Since I was evaluating both RH and Suse I am using RH and will be dumping Suse. There Techs said "There are over 3000 programs that are for Linux." My reply "How many of those 3000 program will I have this same issue." I am still waiting for an answer. Good side is if you use Suse 8.2 is supposedly works fine.
