Didn't even think to use "--help" on the configure script.  Thought I would 
have to edit out the makefile or something to that effect.

That did it!  Thanks man!

If you pass the "--help" parameter to the 'configure' script, you will
notice the following line:

--without-nmapfe    skip nmapfe X-window GUI


Good luck. :)

Hello,

Trying to install the latest version of Nmap but seem to be having some 
problems.  I already have version 4.10 installed on my system but want to 
upgrade.  The "./configure" ends properly creating a makefile but not 
without first displaying:

------------------
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... *** GTK+ header files (version 
2.8.17) do not match *** library (version 2.8.19)
no
configure: WARNING:  NMAPFE WILL NOT BE BUILT -- BUT NMAP SHOULD STILL 
WORK
-----------------

So, ok, I won't have a graphical front end. Big deal.  So I do a "make" 
on it and I get this before the make file errors out:

------------
Your system does not appear to have GTK (www.gtk.org) installed).  Thus 
the Nmap X Front End will not compile.  You should still be able to use 
Nmap the normal way (via the text console). GUIs are for wimps anyway :)
make[1]: *** [nmapfe.o] Error 1
make[1]: (much removed content)
make: *** [nmapfe/nmapfe] Error 2
-----------

I know I have GTK+ installed.  It comes loaded in Slax and I use 
wireshark quite a bit and wireshark won't work without GTK.  I know from 
past experience that installing a new version of GTK+ is a total pain in 
the ass.  So I guess I need some help here.  What seems to be the 
problem?  Is there anyway to just use nmap without the frontend. I don't 
mind the console.  I just want to get the darn thing upgraded to the 
newest version.  Can I disable the make file from trying to build the 
frontend?

Thanks!

Rodman
