Installing and running Nessus

[Stitchup]

I obtained the Red Hat RPM version of Nessus

# rpm2tgz Nessus.rpm
# installpkg Nessus.tgz
# ln -s libcrypto.so.0 libcrypto.so.4
# ln -s libssl.so.0 libssl.so.4
# ln -s libdb4-4.so libdb-4.3.so
# ldconfig

Easy peasy

Oh and don't forget!

# /opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch

:P

error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.6, no such file or directory.

I named everything right, shouldn't it be 4 not 6? weird.

I've had similar errors with the symbolic links, but it still worked. Try it!

Hi

I still can't get nessus working , did the links...

Always get the error: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.5: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory.

Anybody?

You can add the link to the correct file.
such as:
bt ~ # cd /usr/lib
bt lib # ln -s libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.5
