First, you do not need 'ld.so.conf' or to run 'ldconfig' on OS X,
although they are required on Linux. Nessus on OS X will work fine without
them, as you can see with Nessusd running.

As for the "nessus" client command failing, what error messages do you get
when you try to run it? I presume you are seeing something about GTK not
being around. You mentioned that you did *not* install GTK, thus Nessus
did not build the GTK version of the client.

You need to run the command-line version of the client. See the "-q"
option in the nessus(8) man page - this will cause the client to run in
CLI mode.
