The installer writes its output (stdout and stderr) to a file named
"log" in the directory "$TMPDIR/nessus-installer.$MYPID" (eg,
"/tmp/nessus-installer.10325").  The part where it makes
nessus-libraries does, though, use a different format for the file than
elsewhere (ie, "$MYSTUFF"/log rather than ${MYSTUFF}/log) and I wonder
if that's responsible for the lack of warnings / errors.  Unfortunately,
the installer removes the directory on exit. 

To get a better idea what's going wrong, try modifying the script by
commenting out the line 'rm -rf "$MYSTUFF"' in the function cleanup()
(line #275 with the installer for version 2.2.2a) and then rerunning it. 
After it fails, switch into the directory and examine the log.  If that
doesn't help, change into nessus-libraries and run "make" to see what
happens.
