The client parameters are not documented well.
Once nessus is installed on your system, and you have create a Nessus
user/password account,
create a file with the target hosts -> targets.txt
This file could simply contain one IP address:
192.168.0.1
Then run the command from the system with nessus installed:
nessus -Vx -c ./nessusrc -q localhost 1241 user pass ./targets.txt
./results.txt
The output of the scan will be stored inside the ./results.txt file, in this
case in text output.
The nessusrc file will not exist before the first scan, but will be created
with default values, which you can then further adjust.
This works whether you have GTK installed or not.
BTW, to build the X client, you will need to install the GTK development
kits. Having a graphics desktop functioning is not enough and the
development kits are not installed by default.

If you have a basic problem of understanding how to execute a program on a
linux machine you better visit a local Linux User Group and bring your
machine along. That way someone can see which knowledge you lack and how
to help you to gain that knowledge.
