Besides that, NmapFE is built after everything else (nbase, nsock,
Nmap), so NmapFE failing to compile shouldn't affect anything but
nmapfe. Did you actually check to see if Nmap was built and 'nmap' was
in the build directory? I used to have a problem similar to this where
nmapfe wasn't compiling right, but 'nmap' was still fine.
