Re: Zenmap 7.10 Crash on first startup

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Ricky,

Thanks for the report. I have BCC'd several users who previously reported
this issue so they can see this reply.

I mistakenly changed a line in Zenmap's setup.py back in November 2014
(r33804) that caused it to install with the wrong paths. I think we didn't
see bug reports because it would only cause problems if you'd never had it
installed before, and many of our users have been users for a long time.
I've fixed it in SVN development branch, but here are a couple fixes you
can try:

First, you can try to repair your existing installation:

sudo sed -i 's|/usr/share/zenmap|/usr/local/share/zenmap|' $(python -c
'from zenmapCore.Paths import __file__;print __file__')

Or you can apply the fix to setup.py and rebuild and reinstall:

cd nmap-7.10
sed -i 's/saved_prefix = sys\.prefix/saved_prefix = self\.prefix/'
zenmap/setup.py
make clean-zenmap
make build-zenmap
make install-zenmap

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Dan
