[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I get the same. Evidently the port is broken and needs to be fixed. This was reported before in #14429 but not fixed.

Note that this port is very old; nessus-libraries 2.2.9 was released October 2006. You might do better to use a current version of nessus directly from the developers' web site. It looks like it costs money now. If you find a newer free version that we could update the port to, let us know.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Just needs to use --mode=compile in those libtool invocations.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Try the attached patch.

[meufuturo@…]

nessus-libraries has been sucessfully installed. Thank you jmr@… libtool_mode.patch it works perfectly.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has duplicate #39817.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Thank you for pointing out the duplicate and sorry for not doing my homework of finding it myself first. Is there any reason not applying the patch?

Despite not being the same port, it would also be great to address #39383 in nessus-core (which was the main reason why I stumbled into this problem).

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

It seems that this this has been fixed in r110348.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Do you actually use nessus? I was thinking of deleting the nessus ports.
