First, nessus 4 is closed source proprietary software. The version of nessus in ports is version 2 which is open source. I think you may have a square peg round hole problem with nessus 4. If you want to run that, you would need to use fbsd8 as that is what it is compiled against. As for nessus 2 from ports, did you install the package for it, or did you compile it? If you compiled it, there should not be a problem. configure should find zlib just fine. > Security Monitoring'. =A0Maybe I need to fall back to FreeBSD 8.2 in orde= r to > be successful? =A0Are there other security tools which build without erro= r on > FreeBSD 9? Keep in mind that 9 is beta. So, if you are interested in things "just working" use 8.2. If you are willing to spend the time beta testing, then use 9.
