You are running on FreeBSD 6.3 and you are trying to add a package that clearly has fbsd7 in the name. Off course it is not going to work.


pkg_add: package VisualOS-1.0.5_3 has no origin recorded
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libz.so.4" not found, required by
"nessusd"

First and foremost, you hijacked an existing thread by replying to it
with regards to a completely different issue. Please don't do this, it confuses mail clients which follow thread references. Please don't hit
reply on unrelated messages and start a new/unrelated discussion.

i don't know wtf you are talking about these are all my threads.

You clicked reply, or something along those lines on a previous message sent to the mailling list, thereby copying over some crucial information into the header of said email:

In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
        <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
        <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

For mail clients that do threading, and show the conversation more as one would expect on a message board, your emails now look as if they belong underneath the topic named "Hifn 7955 doesn't work with FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE", which is annoying to most of us who would want your messages to show up in a new thread context. Next time, please just email hackers@ directly, and do not "hi-jack" the thread.

Also, it is generally considered rude to suggest that you don't know what someone is talking about using the "wtf". We point the hi-jacking out so that the mistake does not re-occur. Please refrain from such rudeness when people are attempting to help you.




Secondly, the missing library error shown above would happen on machines
running FreeBSD 6.x or earlier.  /lib/libz.so.4 exists on RELENG_7.


i am still on freeBSD 6.3  is this a serious problem?

If you want to use the package you are using, yes. Since that package is clearly for FreeBSD 7.



Another possibility is that something completely destroyed ld.so's
shared library cache path.  Of course, you'd be seeing all sorts of
programs reporting missing libraries, and not just nexxus.


so running freeBSD 6.3 is a fatal problem, or just extraneously
irrelevant?

Fatal, sure, especially if you want to use that package.



If the startup script for nessus calls ldconfig or uses
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH, that could explain the missing library.
