Thanks for those who responded - the solution, since I've put the problem
out here already, was to run the 'configure;make;make install' completely as
root. 

Normally, I run all builds (including all previous nessus builds, with no
issues) as user, switching to root only for 'make install'. I've not often
had a problem with that, but there have been a few exceptions. 

For the record, I did all of the below (and more) - re-installed libraries,
checked that ldd could find what it wanted, checked permissions on
/usr/keberos/libs and it's contents, made sure it was in ld.so.conf, re-ran
ldconfig a number of times. 

All were intact and seemed to be found by system, except when I ran the
configure and subsequent make as a normal user. 

I'm baffled as to what I did to cause that situation, but that certainly
fixed it. Nessus was not at fault and compiled/worked flawlessly after
install.

Thanks again,

Ben

It looks like your SSL library is broken and can't find the Kerberos
libraries it needs.  [I bet if you run "ldd /usr/local/lib/libssl.so"
you'll see messages about one or more libraries not being found.] I
would see about re-installing it (whether from rpm or source).

Are you sure??? Check version numbers and make sure the libraries aren't
just broken links.
