The above error is due to you running nmap in the directory in which you 
built it.  Go to any other directory and it'll go away as if by magic.

I'd be curious to see if it does that when you scan scanme.nmap.org; 
failing that, it looks like the relevant code snippet is in tcpip.cc.

Perhaps HP-UX approaches the networking interfaces differently and is 
causing the breakage?  Someone who knows more about that aspect of nmap 
will have to chime in...
