First and foremost, you hijacked an existing thread by replying to it
with regards to a completely different issue.  Please don't do this, it
confuses mail clients which follow thread references.  Please don't hit
reply on unrelated messages and start a new/unrelated discussion.

Secondly, the missing library error shown above would happen on machines
running FreeBSD 6.x or earlier.  /lib/libz.so.4 exists on RELENG_7.

Another possibility is that something completely destroyed ld.so's
shared library cache path.  Of course, you'd be seeing all sorts of
programs reporting missing libraries, and not just nexxus.

If the startup script for nessus calls ldconfig or uses
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH, that could explain the missing library.
