Hi Greg,

You probably did not download the Fedora 9 package, but a RPM for an
other version of Fedora (or another Linux distribution altogether).

You need to install the official Fedora 9 package for a seamless
installation.

Thanks,

Actually, I got this to work by following this:

It may not look applicable, but the section on installing ndiswrapper
fixes the issue.

We do not offer a 64 bits binary for Nessus on Fedora 9 (yet). What you
should do is to install the 32 bits compatibility libraries on your
system, and Nessus should install properly at that point.
