--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     Nessus installation : Ready to install
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nessus is now ready to be installed on this host.
The installation process will first compile it then install it

Do you want to save the compilation log to analyze what went wrong ? [y]
Where should I save this file ? [//nessus_compilation]

Do you want to delete /tmp/nessus-installer.4656 ? [y]

Please advise what can be going wrong?
