Hello Peter,

Thanks for you help. I did install GNOME, I know that for sure. My problems with GTK is that I'm trying to install
Nessus. Keep in mind that I never had a problem running the GUI for nessus, but now that I've moved to RH Enterprise
for the workstation, it can't find GTK (this is a fresh install). This is the error I get:


# sh nessus-installer.sh
The command 'gtk-config' was not found in your $PATH.
The nessus client will be built without its GUI...

I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. GTK looks far to complicated for me to even begin to understand. I tried to
install GTK from their main website, but the make file doesn't exist and it won't install. I'm very confused.

In the Debian packaging system, gtk-config (actually, /usr/bin/gtk-config) is not part of the main GTK package. It is part of the corresponding -dev package, the one that mainly provides header files (a bunch of stuff that goes in /usr/include) for compiling apps. Even if you installed the GTK libraries themselves (as you must have, if you are running Gnome), you may not have installed theve -dev files.

Your options are:

1. Install the appropriate -dev package. The relevant Debian package is named libgtk1.2-dev . Look for something similar in your RH package list.

2. Install a pre-compiled version of nessus instead of compiling it yourself. Debian has both nessus (the client) and nessusd (the server), so RH probably has something similar.
