As some of you know, mac users have a number of ways to install Nessus
(Fink, DarwinPorts, source code).
Recent testing I've done with the install script indicates that it does
not work as-is on MacOS "Tiger" machines. The difficulty lies in the
fact that the script looks for uudecode in the standard place
/usr/local/bin. On MacOS X, uudecode is installed in /usr/bin.

Here is how to fix the script:

Edit the script
Go to line #43
Change:
prefix="/usr/local"
to
prefix="/usr/bin"

NO! This installs Nessus under /usr/bin, something that you probably do NOT want to do.

uudecode is searched for in your $PATH, just make sure that 'which uudecode' works before executing the installer.
