Greg,

We had some problems with the Zenmap portion of the 6.45 and 6.46 releases
that are now fixed in the 6.47 installer [1]. Hopefully this will clear up
your issues, too. Please let us know if you find any more problems.

employs the 6.46 dmg -> 6.46mpkg, the latter "successfully installed."  The
first two attempts showed the zenmap icon in the application folder, but
this could not open the GUI even after trashing all of the fore-mentioned.
X-11 is already installed and Wire Shark runs normally.  The directories
ncat and nmap were deleted from  /usr/local/share after the first two
tries.  However, ncat,ndiff, nmap and nping under /usr/local/bin was not
allowed ("You do not have permission") The third attempt was made with the
same result. "nmap" from the terminal prompt stated that the image could
not be found in the initial installation attempt.  All files were in the
unhidden state, but I suspect that Apple has refused to make the bin files
available to users.

The bottom line is that I now have two machines, Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro,
that will not run nmap as it is presently configured.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Greg
