Re: Compiling nmap on Red Hat

[Francois Lachance <digitallachance () gmail com>]

Anne,

Thanks for your help.

[francois@cerberus Downloads]$ sudo yum search gcc-c++
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Warning: No matches found for: gcc-c++
No Matches found

I did run sudo yum install compat-gcc-34-c++.x86_64 and it
installed compat-gcc-34-c++ and its dependent package compat-gcc-34, but I
still have the same error on make (g++ not found).

Talking with someone else they mention that I have Red Hat Desktop and
therefore would not be able to compile nmap.  That doesn't add up to me,
but whatever - I give up on Red Hat.  I have access to a Windows 2008 R2
server so I'll run my scans from there instead.

Thank you all for your help.
