I would LOVE an esier way to isntall Nessus. I went
the site listed and chose "Source Contrib:..." and
attmepted to enter the proveded command line into a
console window as Root. (I'm running 8.2, by the way,
and I did choose 8.2 on the top of the window). Here
is what I got:
Base class package "URPM" is empty.
(perhaps you need to "use' the module which
defines that package first)
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/urpm.pm line 5
BEGIN failed--compiliation aborted at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/6.5.1/urpm.pm line 5.
Complilation failed in require at
/usr/sbin/urpmi.addmedia line 22.
BEGIN failed--compilation aboured at
/usr/sbin/urpmi.addmedia line 22.
Siighhhh, any ideas??
THANK YOU!!
