I have been receiving a lot of mail from Mac OX X users who get this error when they try to build the souce Nmap release: configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH This means that they don't have a working compiler. Apparently OS X does not ship with one. The good news is that it is available for free from Apple. Here are some instructions Brian Hatch sent me: Go to connect.apple.com Join ADC (Apple Developer Connection) Fill out forms (several) to create an account Eventually you'll get to a page that allows you to buy a level of support / cd media / etc. Ignore it, go back to connect.apple.com Log in Hit the 'Download' link on the left Go to 'Developer Tools' Download the most recent Dev Tools and install. Download the most recent Dev Tools Updates and install. You should be good to go at that point. Cheers, Fyodor PS: You guys have been submitting _tons_ of new service fingerprints. Excellent! There are more than a thousand (!) in the pending queue. I'll try to integrate them this weekend and then do a 3.46 release. There are also a few bugs (particularly the --with-openssl=dir configure directive and "broken pipe" errors) that will be fixed at the same time.
