I tried to make greenbone to use openvas as below:
i seems openvas installed correctly. this is openvas-check-setup output:

FIX: Please install Greenbone Security Assistant.
then i downloaded greenbone-security-assistant-6.0.9.tar.gz and done as mentioned in INSTALL file. but when i run cmake it returns:
cmake ..

it seems cmake can not file any openvas lib. all the openvas libs are located in default path:
/usr/lib/libopenvas_base.so.8
/usr/lib/libopenvas_base.so.8.0.6
/usr/lib/libopenvas_misc.so.8
/usr/lib/libopenvas_misc.so.8.0.6
/usr/lib/libopenvas_nasl.so.8
/usr/lib/libopenvas_nasl.so.8.0.6
/usr/lib/libopenvas_omp.so.8
/usr/lib/libopenvas_omp.so.8.0.6
this is mentioned in INSTALL file:
If you have installed required libraries to a non-standard location, remember to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to the location of your pkg-config files before configuring:
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/your/location/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
but openvas installed it in default path and also i tried to set the environment var (PKG_CONFIG_PATH) as /usr/lib/ but not changed!
you may try to reinstall gvm with another sources(like kali),and resetup.I have succeded to deal with this question by this way.
