Trying to run NMap v4.20 and v4.22SOC2 on OS X On an intel mac. First when compiling 4.22 the compile gave me a Building NmapFE graphical frontend cd . && aclocal aclocal: configure.ac: 9: macro `AM_PATH_GTK_2_0' not found in library make[1]: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1 make: *** [nmapfe/nmapfe] Error 2 error, so i used --without-nmapfe option and the compile went through fine. The problem is that I am running vmware fusion which creates 2 vmnet devices. Every time i run nmap as root now, i get Starting Nmap 4.22SOC2 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-08-20 14:48 EDT getinterfaces: Failed to open ethernet interface (vmnet8). A possible cause on BSD operating systems is running out of BPF devices (see http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2006/Jan-Mar/0014.html). QUITTING! Interesting part is that if i run nmap as user it will actually scan (or so it appears)... that's a -vv output, so unless there is (and i know that there is) some sort of a debugging mode i can use to troubleshoot it further for you guys, i would gladly do so. -- This work as well as my thinking is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 License. _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
