Re: Nessus 1.3.4 is available

[Scott C. Kennedy]

On a Solaris 7 host, with gcc version 2.95.2 with bison 1.875 installed, I am having alot of trouble with nessus-libraries and thus having trouble with libnasl and thus the rest of Nessus....

At first pass, when I did my "configure; make; sudo make install" for nessus-libraries I did not get any make errors and things completed, cleanly but while compiling libnasl, I could not find pcap.h which nessus-libraries installs. But, when I looked into nessus-libraries I saw that the make actually did error with...

cd libpcap-nessus && make
bison -y -p pcap_ -d grammar.y
*** Signal 13
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `grammar.c'
Current working directory /home/sck/src/nessus-1.3.4/nessus-libraries/libpcap-nessus
*** Error code 1 (ignored)
cd libnessus && make
cd libhosts_gatherer && make

But, the make kept on going since the error was ignored. So I removed the SMC bison and m4 since I never needed them to compile any of the 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 trees and re-compiled to see if I could compile 1.3.4 with my old compile environment, and got the configure error for libnasl which said.

*** bison is not installed on this host ! You need to install it before you
compile libnasl
Get it at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bison/ or check your operating system
packages

So, if I have the SMCbison package installed, I can't compile 1.3.3 or 1.3.4 and I can't compile without it, so... which bison did you install on your Solaris test box, and am I the only  one having trouble with Solaris 7?
