The best way to get openvas running is by adding the atomic corp repository and installing using yum... There is no need to break heads...

I am trying to get openvas installed on x64 Fedora machine. I have installed all the components and when I run openvas-check-setup, I continually get the following error: ERROR: The number of NVTs in the OpenVAS Manager database is too low. FIX: Make sure OpenVAS Scanner is running with an up-to-date NVT collect ion and run 'openvasmd --rebuild'. I run openvasmd --rebuild, then run openvas-check-setup again, but I get the error again. Can somebody help me? I've tried re-syncing the NVT feed, then restarting the scanner, then running the rebuild command, but to no avail. I've included my openvas-check-setup log just in case it can help anyone.
