Looks like that was it.Thanks for testing. I also just noticed that the Debian Nmap package removes the binary stripping as well (http://packages.debian.org/sid/nmap). So I have removed it from the Nmap makefile for the moment. I must admit to being quite torn by this, since stripping really does reduce the binary size dramatically (from 4MB to 800KB on my x86_64 Linux system). I'm thinking maybe we should add a test to configure to decide whether (and how) to strip. We would call "strip" if that binary exists (and do no stripping if it doesn't), except on Mac where we might be able to use "strip -x" successfully ( http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2007-01/msg00357.html ). Madhat: Can you try 'strip -x nmap' and see if it still runs or if it crashes with the Lua error?
I just committed a change which makes "strip -x" the default. configure looks for strip. Can a Mac OS X user please test it?
