Hello, all, and congratulations to the developers on the release of
OpenVAS.  I had wondered with great interest what happened to the
gnessus project.  We have used Nessus off and on for years and are
delighted to see the flurry of activity after what seems like three
years of incubation. We hope we can contribute our experiences, perhaps
some documentation and maybe even some finances to further the project.

We thought we would dive right in to version 2 and immediately hit some
problems.  We are installing on fully patched Ubuntu 8.0.4 on amd64.  I
believe we have run Nessus 2.x successfully before and, in fact, it is
still installed.

We took all defaults during installation from source (./configure &&
make) and it appears to have installed into /usr/local/ as expected
although I do not see an openvas.conf in /usr/local/etc/openvas/

Although we will ultimately use our own key and cert, we thought we stay
plain vanilla for our first test and do the cook book openvas-mkcert.
Unfortunately, it returns:

/usr/local/sbin/openvasd: error while loading shared libraries: libopenvas.2: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Executing openvasd failed. Make sure your library loader is configured properly 
and that openvasd is in your $PATH.

So does adduser and even just trying to start openvasd.  openvasd is in
the path:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/jsullivan/bin
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo which openvasd
/usr/local/sbin/openvasd

/usr/local/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf.  We did manually run
sudo ldconfig just in case.  We even rebooted.  All the same.

libopenvas.s exists:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/lib$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/libopenvas*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 2008-12-09 07:26 /usr/local/lib/libopenvas -> 
libopenvas.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 2008-12-09 07:26 /usr/local/lib/libopenvas.2 -> 
libopenvas.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  344799 2008-12-09 07:26 /usr/local/lib/libopenvas.2.0.0

What have we done wrong? Thanks - John
