As far as I can tell, the key problems shown in my log below are:
(a) - "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi"
(b) - cd plugins && ./make_world
./make_world: libnet-config: command not found
Any hints as to why I should be getting these errors now (after
successfully running/upgrading Nessus manually for about a year) would
be appreciated. (I'm now trying to use the CVS script from the FAQ)

NB I never run X on this box (ssh-ing and W32 client access only), but
it is installed and AFAIK working. If there's a X11-free solution to my
probs then that's fine though...
