Thanks Winni. Right, Kali 2.0 is based on Debian 8 Jessie. apt-cache search libgnutls-dev didn't find anything. apt-cache search libgpgme11-dev tells me libgpgme11-dev - GPGME - GnuPG Made Easy (development files), I'm not sure what to do with that.
apt-get install cmake worked, thanks! I'll try the pre-built VMs. Do they have the latest? (Scanner 5.0.4 , 6.0.5 , Greenbone Security Assistant 6.0.5) They may be just what I need, it looks like they'll take a couple of hours to download though. I'm simply trying to do a reliable credentialed remote with OpenVAS running on one VMWare Player against Windows 7 running on a second VMWare Player. Will the pre-built VM running on VirtualBox be able to do a credentialed remote scan on Windows 7 running on a VMWare Player? Sometimes it seems like I'm the only person in the world trying to do this and the information on how to do this has been hard to dig up. paul -----Original Message----- From: Openvas-discuss [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Winfried Neessen Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2015 7:30 AM To: openvas-discuss <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Openvas-discuss] update OpenVAS from source code in Kali Hi, > E: Package 'libgnutls-dev' has no installation candidate > E: Unable to locate package libgpgme11-dev > I have no Kali Linux at hand, but as it's basically a Debian derived Linux distribution, try: $ apt-cache search libgnutls-dev and $ apt-cache search libgpgme11-dev And check if it finds any package that matches. If not, your distribution is not providing the required libraries and building OpenVAS from source will not work, unless you install those libs also from source (or from a 3rd party package repository). > Next the instructions want me to do a cmake, but there is no such command. > I see a file openvas_cmake_macros but can’t figure out how to run this. > cmake is cross-platform make system, similar to GNU make (gmake or on most Linux systems just make as it's the default there). You have to install it using: $ apt-get install cmake No offense, but given that there seems to be some lack of knowledge about Linux systems and building programs from sources, you might want to consider using one of the pre-built VMs that are available on http://openvas.org/vm.html instead. This will probably save you a lot of hassle.
