it's likely that it's trying to open $prefix/etc/nessus/nessusd.rules  
and can't because this directory hierarchy does not exist.
Your path seems odd and you probably did not install Nessus properly,  
otherwise this directory would exist. Did you move the whole Nessus  
install from one location to another ?
