We noticed that from 2.0.9 to 2.0.10 the pcap.c file changed in the following way.  We undid the change and it worked fine...

 

 

In the following file, make the following changes:

nessus-libraries/libnessus/pcap.c

 

change from

#else
    len = sizeof(struct ifmap);

to

#else
    len = sizeof(struct sockaddr);

thanks

Folks

I am trying to compile and install Nessus 2.0.10a
With nessus-libraries , the configure seems to work fine
but the make fails with the following

gcc -pipe -I../ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNESSUS_ON_SSL -I. -DHAVE_SSL -I/usr/local/openssl/include -I/usr/local/openssl/include/openssl -I/ldata3/nessus.2.0.10a/src/nessus-libraries/include -I/ldata3/nessus.2.0.10a/src/nessus-libraries/libpcap-nessus -c pcap.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/pcap.lo

pcap.c: In function `getinterfaces':
pcap.c:319: sizeof applied to an incomplete type
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `pcap.o'
Current working directory /ldata3/nessus.2.0.10a/src/nessus-libraries/libnessus
*** Error code 1

It would seem to me that nessus has its own built in version of libpcap , which looks to be version 0.4
Is this the problem ?

I have the following versions installed.
libpcap 0.7.2
glib 1.2.10
gtk+ 1.2.10
flex 2.5.4
bison (GNU Bison) 1.875
OS is Sun solaris 8
Gcc 2.95.3

I had installed nessus 2.0.6 which worked very well , and thought I should upgrade.

Any idea's

Thanks

Matt
