Never got problem compiling openvas from sources and making it run on
my gentoo.
Just take care with gnutls library, i encountered trouble with 2.12.x
version (and none with 2.8.x and 2.10.x).

atomicturtle does a good job keeping the redhat/centos packages up
to date
so those may be the best option. The newer Ubuntus seem to be
giving
people trouble even if the package installs OK, so there may be some
issue
with OpenVAS and newer libraries like gnutls.
Thanks Matthew. Exactly what I need to know.
Would I be best off to compile from source on, say, squeeze? Do the
default
configuration options just work? Or is there enough black art there
to make
it better to find the right set of packages? Until recently I always
preferred source to packages, but some projects these days the
packages end
up better maintained than the source tars, to the point where use of
anything but the packages gets discouraged - packages are now
sometimes
treated more as raw material for package maintainers than as the
finished
products they used to be. Which way is it with OpenVAS?
Thanks,
Whit
