I have been trying to install nessus 2.0 on redhat 8.0. The first two packages "nessus-libraries" and "libnasl" installed fine but the third one "nessus-core" gave the error when I ran ./configure:

Quote:
configure: warning: Only gtk+-2.0 was found : the client will be built but will be extremely buggy. Install gtk+-1.2 if you want stability. If you do not understand why you would want to install version 1.2.x when you have 2.0.x


The last unfinished sentence of the error mesage is intriguing, since I don't know the answer myself! Question

The questtion is can I install gtk-1.2.x together with gtk-2.0 o the same system, how? Has anybody has the same problem?

NOTE: i searched nessus mailing list, and found none related. Sad

Now I am still undecisive about the altenatives:

1. I could compile nessus-core without gtk( with the flag ./configure --disable-gtk. But I don't know if it will make nessus running in command line only?

2. I also did try to compile gtk+1-1.2.0 but it in turn gave an error with ./configure:

checking for gettext... yes
checking for extra flags to get ANSI library prototypes... none needed
checking for extra flags for POSIX compliance... none needed
checking for glib-config... /usr/bin/glib-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0... yes
checking for X... no
configure: error:
*** X libraries or include files not found. Check 'config.log' for
*** more details.


I am sure I have X and kde running.

The error message in config.log was:

Quote:

configure:4882: checking for X
configure:4949: gcc -E conftest.c >//[b][/b]dev[b][/b]/null 2>conftest.out
configure:4945:27: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:
#line 4944 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
configure:5025: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall conftest.c -lXt 1>&5
configure: In function `main':
configure:5021: warning: implicit declaration of function `XtMalloc'
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 5018 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"


And while I was playing around in attempts to fix the problem, I made the filesystem /root disappear! I got it back though.

I found the solution. I switched to another distro which has only gtk-1.2 installed and nessus compilation went smoothly. Very Happy
