Whit, I'm sorry you're running into these issues. I'm grasping at straws, but try running apt-cache show libgnutls26, or check which version of libgnutls is installed. I have 2.12.14-5ubuntu3.1. I take it for granted my VMs are normally up to date. 5ubuntu3 is the stock version for 12.04, and apparently a 3.1 was released as an update.
Other than that, I'm stumped. Believe me I was quite motivated to get it working, I was very happy when it did. If you haven't had success with a live CD like Backtrack, the other thing I would try is either Ubuntu 11.10 (I got that to work with even the previous libraries) or Debian. The README files say the developers use mostly Debian. Alan On 8/7/12, Whit Blauvelt <[email protected]> wrote: > Alan, > > I fully believe you, and thank you again for the clear instructions.
