Re: Compiling nmap on Red Hat

[Francois Lachance <digitallachance () gmail com>]

I'm pretty much a noob at Red Hat and much prefer Debian (and I'm not that
great at Debian either).  In any case:

[francois@cerberus nmap-6.00]$ sudo find / -name g++ -print
[francois@cerberus nmap-6.00]$ sudo yum search g++
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Warning: No matches found for: g++
No Matches found

So it appears that I do not have an executable named g++ anywhere on my
system and searching for g++ in yum returns nothing.

Surely someone else has tried to compile nmap on Red Hat before...

Thanks,

Francois
