I found that the latest libcap package from sunfreeware didn't include
the nessus library.  I ended up taking the boring route and using the
precompiled packaged from said source.

Thanks for the ideas.

By default, nessus-libaries uses an older version of libpcap, which it
calls libpcap-nessus.  Unless you explicitly disable it by passing the
argument "--enable-nessuspcap=no" to configure, it will be installed and
used.

nessus-config thinks that you're using libpcap-nessus but the loader
can't find it.  Does it exist in /usr/local/lib? If so, does Sun have
the equivalent of Linux's ldconfig that you can run to update run-time
bindings for the dynamic linker?
