Tim,

It looks like you have installed Nmap, but are also running from within the
source tree ("Warning: File ./nmap-os-db exists, but"). This is not usually
a problem, but you may have gotten something out-of-sync. A few questions
to narrow things down:

1. Do you get the same errors when running from a different directory (e.g.
/tmp/)?

2. Do you also get these errors when you `sudo make uninstall` then `sudo
make install`?

3. Can you provide the output of `nmap --version` so we can reproduce your
build parameters for testing?

Thanks for the report!

Dan
