I have found some > links on Google, but they didn't help. if you want to put the /usr/local/bin in your path (thta's what you want?), then you can simply do: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin But that will only work on the shell login you run that on, and will be gone at the next login. You can put this in your /home/user/.bashrc though. Where exactly are you stuck in the install now? It's a bit confusing to me. But aren't you making things a bit hard on yourself? Installing from source isn't the easy route. You can install nessus from mandrake contribs far more easier. Just head over to: http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ Select a contrib source for mdk 9.1, select your favourite mirror (one nearby) and it will give you an urpmi.addmedia command to run as root. Then run: urpmi nessus That should install nessus 1.2.6 from contribs. It's far more easier then installing from source. > --- "Steve.Casey" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From: "Steve.Casey" > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "nessus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: Re: Mandrake install issue > > Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2003 16:13:21 -0500 > > > > All, > > You are probably having the same frustrations I did. > > I'm also running > > Mandrake 9.1 and had issues as well.
