Re: Nessus compatibility(?) problem with SuSE 9.2

Hello, 

today I noticed the same thing. My friend freezed on it too. I was little bit 
surprised, when nessus worked for me even I saw this error output. The only 
difference between my instalation and his was, that  I was installing Nessus 
to a specific directory, (not /usr/local/), I had everything like "user" or 
"cert" already created and he made totally new install.  Plus installation 
script finished installing plugins and the above error appeared after and my 
friend saw it just a second after compiling phase. 

I hadn't noticed a similar problem with SuSE 9.1 or older, just now with 9.2. 
I will try to install Nessus in debug mode to see why my instalation wasn't 
smooth but works anyway and yours not.

I've tried to install nessus on a SuSE 9.2 system (with default kernel 2.6
and all required packages installed)

Unfortunately the nessus-installer script stops running during the
installation of NESSUS-PLUGINS. Adding set -x for debug-mode,
the installer script shows the following output before break-off:



..
+ echo 'make install 2>&1 >> /tmp/nessus-installer.6935/log'
+ sh
+ return 0
+ core_installed=yes
+ export core_installed
++ uname
+ test Linux = IRIX
+ success=
+ test -n yes
+ cd ../nessus-plugins
+ echo '---------------------- NESSUS-PLUGINS'
+ echo 'x - Compiling the plugins'
x - Compiling the plugins
+ echo 'x -- Configuring the sources for your system'
x -- Configuring the sources for your system
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --cache-file=../config.cache
+ echo 'x -- Compiling'
x -- Compiling
+ make
+ echo 'x -- Installing'
x -- Installing
+ mysu '' 'make install 2>&1 >> /tmp/nessus-installer.6935/log'
+ am_i_root
+ case `uname` in
++ uname
+ case `id` in
++ id
+ return 0
+ echo 'make install 2>&1 >> /tmp/nessus-installer.6935/log'
+ sh
+ return 0
+ success=yes
+ export success
+ test -z yes
+ '[' -f /etc/ld.so.conf ']'
+ grep '^/usr/local/lib$' /etc/ld.so.conf
+ cd /home/dummy/aaa
+ rm -rf /tmp/nessus-installer.6935
+ trap 0
trap: usage: trap [-lp] [[arg] signal_spec ...]
+ cleanup
+ cd /home/dummy/aaa
+ test -x /tmp/nessus-installer.6935/su
+ rm -rf /tmp/nessus-installer.6935
+ exit




I have verified that $success from the last part the output is jumping to
yes, also trap, which seems to be involved in the braek-off, is called
multiple times before this point without any problems.

Dose anyone has an idea or similar experiences ?

Thanks & Best regards
