If you pass the "--help" parameter to the 'configure' script, you will notice the following line:      --without-nmapfe    skip nmapfe X-window GUIGood luck. :)Rodman wrote:

Hello,Trying to install the latest version of Nmap but seem to be having some problems.  I already have version 4.10 installed on my system but want to upgrade.  The "./configure" ends properly creating a makefile but not without first displaying:------------------checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... *** GTK+ header files (version 2.8.17) do not match *** library (version 2.8.19) noconfigure: WARNING:  NMAPFE WILL NOT BE BUILT -- BUT NMAP SHOULD STILL WORK-----------------So, ok, I won't have a graphical front end. Big deal.  So I do a "make" on it and I get this before the make file errors out:------------Your system does not appear to have GTK (www.gtk.org) installed).  Thus the Nmap X Front End will not compile.  You should still be able to use Nmap the normal way (via the text console). GUIs are for wimps anyway :)make[1]: *** [nmapfe.o] Error 1make[1]: (much removed content)make: *** [nmapfe/nmapfe] Error 2-----------I know I have GTK+ installed.  It comes loaded in Slax and I use wireshark quite a bit and wireshark won't work without GTK.  I know from past experience that installing a new version of GTK+ is a total pain in the ass.  So I guess I need some help here.  What seems to be the problem?  Is there anyway to just use nmap without the frontend. I don't mind the console.  I just want to get the darn thing upgraded to the newest version.  Can I disable the make file from trying to build the frontend?Thanks!Rodman

Besides that, NmapFE is built after everything else (nbase, nsock,Nmap), so NmapFE failing to compile shouldn't affect anything butnmapfe. Did you actually check to see if Nmap was built and 'nmap' wasin the build directory? I used to have a problem similar to this wherenmapfe wasn't compiling right, but 'nmap' was still fine.-Kris_______________________________________________Sent through the nmap-dev mailing listhttp://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-devArchived athttp://SecLists.Org
