Re: Zenmap Assistance

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Aaron and other bug reporters,

Thanks for following up on this. We are aware of the issues with Zenmap on
Mavericks and are working on retooling our Mac build system to release an
updated .dmg package. In the meantime, the nmap command itself ought to
work as expected, and the XML it produces will be able to be imported into
Zenmap on another supported platform. Alternatively, you can build Nmap and
Zenmap from source[1]. Also, the last 6.40 release [2] should install
cleanly, though it is missing some of the latest features. We apologize for
the inconvenience, and look forward to better OS X support in the very near
future.
