First, let me disclose that I am a Unix idiot. My apologies therefore if all of this is blatantly obvious.
I'm running Mandrake 8.1. When trying to use the nessus- installer script I get the following error: 'essus-installer.sh: line 61: syntax error near unexpected token `in 'essus-installer.sh: line 61: `case `echo -n` in OK, so I move on from the script to the manual compilation process. I went through that, and everything seemed fine. When it came time to run, though, I got an error that libnasl.so.1 couldn't be found. Doing the step that is stated for Solaris users, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib, solved that problem, but I don't know how to make it permanent. I tried adding it to /root/.bash_profile and then /etc/profile, but those don't seem to work. Same thing with my PATH, I guess I don't know how to make that stick for root. So, can someone tell me how to make the LD_LIBRARY_PATH stick? Can anyone explain what's up with my install script (for my own future reference or perhaps it will also help someone else)? Many thanks in advance! Mike
