variable 'ssl' is not declared

[m k <mpmab1 () gmail com>]

Dear All,

I'm coming across the error message below when attempting to execute
nmap scripts.

My question is how do I go about solving this?
Also I only got this message after using the -sC option . using the
--script option did not produce the error mesg. Should they not both
do the same?

PS. I'm not writing a new script but using existing ones.

SE: failed to initialize the script engine:
/usr/local/share/nmap/nse_main.lua:384:
/usr/local/share/nmap/nselib/strict.lua:65: variable 'ssl' is not
declared
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'assert'
        /usr/local/share/nmap/nse_main.lua:384: in function 'new'
        /usr/local/share/nmap/nse_main.lua:546: in function 'Entry'
        /usr/local/share/nmap/scripts/script.db:166: in function 'db_closure'
        /usr/local/share/nmap/nse_main.lua:566: in function 'get_chosen_scripts'
        /usr/local/share/nmap/nse_main.lua:1006: in main chunk
        [C]: ?

QUITTING!

Thanks in advance
