Install fails on BackTrack5 about risu HOT 16 CLOSED

You ran this command?

sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev libzip1 libzip-dev libxml2-dev libxml2 libmysqlclient-dev imagemagick libmagickcore2 libmagickwand-dev libmagickcore-dev libmagick9-dev

from risu.

Here are detailed instructions: http://hammackj.com/2011/06/09/installing-risu-on-backtrack5/ that I used to set it up on Backtrack5.

from risu.

I followed the commands from https://github.com/hammackj/risu/wiki/Known-Installation-Issues and then got that error. i am going through the wiki entry you referenced and using rvm. I will update you on the results as soon as I get far enough.

from risu.

BTW, why the name change from nessusdb to risu?

from risu.

I get the same error when I do 'gem install risu':

/usr/bin/ruby1.9.2 extconf.rb

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

from risu.

I did also notice that 'gem -v' returns 1.3.7, not 1.6.2 like your blog post shows.

from risu.

gem update --system, will update the version of ruby gems. Please let me know if that doesn't work.

The name was change due to Tenable legal and a trademark over the Nessus name.

from risu.

ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
gem update --system is disabled on Debian. RubyGems can be updated using the official Debian repositories by aptitude or apt-get.

Understood on the name change. Surprised me to not be able to find this project at first.

from risu.

Looks like it is a problem is libuuid.so.1 library:

ld /usr/lib/libSM.so
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
/usr/lib/libSM.so: undefined reference to uuid_unparse_lower@UUID_1.0' /usr/lib/libSM.so: undefined reference touuid_generate@UUID_1.0'

And further:

ldd libSM.so
./libSM.so: /opt/rapid7/nexpose/nsc/nxpgsql/pgsql/lib/libuuid.so.1: no version information available (required by ./libSM.so)
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb77b0000)

libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb761a000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77b1000)

Looks like i need to resolve this nexpose issue !@$#$%@!#.

from risu.

Well, if I at least temporarily remove the nexpose library from the path I get a different error:

gem install risu
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing risu:
risu requires RubyGems version >= 1.6.0. Try 'gem update --system' to update RubyGems itself.

I am going to try to update rubygems with rvm.

from risu.

Try updating to a newer version of rubygems, there was a issue using an older version and I had to upgrade the min req version.

from risu.

Nope:

root@bt:/usr/lib# /usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm rubygems latest
Removing old Rubygems files...

from risu.

Now I've broken it entirely ...

root@bt:/usr/lib# gem update
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.2/rubygems/gem_runner.rb:86:in <top (required)>': undefined methodload_plugins' for Gem:Module (NoMethodError)
from /usr/bin/gem:9:in require' from /usr/bin/gem:9:in

Managed to fix this but gems is still at 1.3.7.

from risu.

How did you get your gem to version 1.6.2?
When I install rubygems 1.8.7 with rvm I still end up with gem version 1.3.7.

from risu.

got risu installed by doing:
root@bt:/usr/lib# rvm rubygems latest

thus getting gem-ruby-1.9.2-p290. This one returns:
root@bt:/usr/lib# gem-ruby-1.9.2-p290 -v
1.8.10

then you can

root@bt:/usr/lib# gem-ruby-1.9.2-p290 install risu
Successfully installed risu-1.4.8

from risu.

Bingo! That did it. I do not have gem-ruby-1.9.2-p290 in the path anywhere any my rvm is in /usr/local/rvm/bin which is also not in the path. I can fix that part. But, using the path from rvm to gem-ruby-1.9.2-p290 worked and risu is now installed.

Thanks.
