I don't run Fink personally (MacPorts user here), but I'm told it
works. Unfortunately, building via SVN, package, or anything else on
Leopard doesn't get Zenmap working-- chokes on GTK errors within
Python. I'm tracking this issue, but unfortunately I'm not anything
approaching a competent coder, so outside of testing crazy things people
suggest, there's not a lot I can do to assist..

If at all possible I'd like to continue building nmap from source; I'm
familiar enough with the command line usage that zenmap is more or less
a "gee that's nifty" feature for me, but it'd still be nice to have...

On another note, does anyone have any particular areas someone who's...
programmatically challenged can pitch in and help with nmap development?
