which version?
2.2.2
does 2.2.2a or 2.3.0 work?
this is 2.2.2a but i will upgrade to 2.3.0 and post results for you including a strace if it segfaults.
same happened with 2.3.0 (when i figured out how to use it): open("/tmp/nessus-952zVP", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = 9 fchmod(9, 0600) = 0 uname({sys="Linux", node="frederika", ...}) = 0 getpid() =

I just added 2.2.3 - 2.3 is a development version. Is 2.2.3 still faulty? gdb dumps are more useful than strace's for SEGV errors.
how do make sure i have removed all of the components/settings of 2.3.0 so i can emerge a previous version and give you the results?
also which dumps would you require?
for removal: CONFIG_PROTECT="" emerge -C =net-analyzer/nessus-libraries-2.3.0 \ =net-analyzer/libnasl-2.3.0 \ =net-analyzer/nessus-core-2.3.0 \ =net-analyzer/nessus-plugins-2.3.0 rm -rf /etc/nessus just to be sure. use CFLAGS=-g and FEATURES=noclean to compile run: ulimit -c unlimited to get core files run the program that crashes from /var/tmp/portage/... (you may need to chmod -R a+rX /usr/portage/nessus-core) run: gdb $progam core and typing something like where will show where the fault is.
Nessus 2.2.3 is *not* a development version. If something is wrong on Gentoo, please report it to me (mailto:mikhail@nessus.org) By the way, the installation should strongly suggest to "register" to the Tenable plugins feed. This costs nothing. Otherwise, you only get the GPLed plugins (about 50% of the tests) See http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index.php?view=register
Michel, Daniel said 2.3 was a development version, not 2.2.3. George, just to add to what Daniel said, you also want "nostrip" in FEATURES, otherwise portage will run strip and strip the executable(s) of their debugging symbols. You preferrable want to compile as many of the deps with those CFLAGS as you can. From the command line, run it like you normally would until it segfaults. There should be a core file in the current directory (if not, did you forget to run 'ulimit -c unlimited'?). Next, fire up gdb with 'gdb /path/to/executable /path/to/core' and when it gets done loading, type 'bt' to get a backtrace. That's the gold we're really after.
Michael, you'll have to excuse me for only posting the bug on Gentoo but as i have just got an Amd64 and this is the 1st time i have ever had any problems with Nessus. I wanted to know i had my setting correct before creating a bug report with bugs.Nessus. The last thing i wanted is to bug you lot with a problem that was never yours in the first place. I know how some users have got us into trouble with Gaim because of it and i'm not in the business of trying to give Gentoo a bad name. Aaron, yes, i will do that now. I've been a bit busy recently and i have the Gentoo-uk meeting to travel to on Thursday.
Hmmmm This is very annoying. Actually it's not but you get what i mean. 2.2.3 works fine. Without a hitch. Like a dream. I'm starting to think there was a problem with a package being on before. Would you like me to delete it and start again with 2.2.2a or 2.3.0 to make sure?
If you want to try and reproduce it, that is up to you. If you are able to, and get a gdb backtrace, then please reopen this bug.
