Re: Zenmap dies on MacOS X 10.5.1

[Daniel Johnson <daniel () daniel-johnson org>]

I'm also having zenmap crashing on 10.5.1, but in a different way. I  
maintain the nmap package for Fink and have an experimental 4.23RC3  
package that works, but zenmap always crashes after completing a scan.  
This is the error:

CRASH REPORTED:
    SYS.PLATFORM: darwin
    OS.NAME: posix

    elif len(page) == 1:


HOOK:

Value: object of type 'ScanHostDetailsPage' has no len()

It seems that 'page' is missing the len() function? I'm not very  
familiar with python.

I have also have a building issue that I've worked around, but perhaps  
I'm missing something obvious. Fink installs packages into a temporary  
root directory first which is then packed up in a .deb by dpkg.  
The .deb is then installed in the real root location by dpkg. The  
problem is that setup.py always encodes the temporary root path in the  
compiled files even if I use --root and --prefix and therefore zenmap  
looks for its files in the wrong place. I've been patching setup.py  
during building to change the paths like this:

perl -pi -e 's#result = result\[0\]#result = re.sub("%i", "%p",  
result[0])#' zenmap/setup.py

where %i is replaced with the temporary root and %p with the real root  
prefix; Fink automatically replaces them with the correct values. Now  
again I'm no python expert, so I might be missing something. My way  
works, but is hardly elegant. :)
