Greetings,

I downloaded nmap 5.51 and did a configure,make and make install. This
all worked as designed.

However when I attempt to run, I get an error with ld.so.1 with the
libffi library.

I downloaded libffi 2.99 and configure/make libffi and created a
symbolic link to libffi.so.0 to libffi-2.00-beta.so

this resulted in a coredump.

It looks like the symbolic link you made is broken. How did you install
PyGTK? That's usually the hardest part. Whatever you did, try doing the
same thing for libffi.
