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



I'm not 100% sure what you wanted.  I had originally installed ZENMAP from
the Ubuntu software site and got version 5.5 or there about.  So I upgraded
6.45 and found the one bug.  I then upgraded to 6.46.  Just now I
un-installed Zenmap (or got it to the point where  # zenmap did not run the
GUI.  I then installed Zenmap as root using my previously expanded 6.46
file with:

./configure
make
make install


Since I originally installed 5.5 could this be an issue?  When 6.45 was
working I do not recall getting the "Failed to load" messages.


It's usually best to only have 1 install at a time, though compiling from
source will (usually) put it in /usr/local, whereas the distro package will
put it in /usr/. This isn't the problem, though, read on...






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


Nmap version 6.46 ( http://nmap.org )
Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Compiled with: nmap-liblua-5.2.3 nmap-libpcre-7.6 nmap-libpcap-1.2.1
nmap-libdnet-1.12 ipv6
Compiled without: openssl
Available nsock engines: epoll poll select


Here is your problem: You do not have openssl support compiled in. The
errors you see are certain scripts "silently" failing, because they require
crypto routines that come from OpenSSL. On Ubuntu, you can install the
libssl-dev package to get the appropriate OpenSSL development headers, then
start over with:

make distclean
./configure
make

Hope this helps!
