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?
