After downloading the Mac install dmg today and installing the latest Quartz, I am having zenmark issues. I can start zenmap from my applications screen and get the "Zenmark wants to make changes enter your username and password to do this" window, but after clicking OK, the GUI disappears forever. I did a bit of research, and my issue initially seemed similar to this bug report from November 2013: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2013/q4/125. As in this bug, nmap itself works just fine.
Sometimes Zenmap takes a few minutes to start, only the first time you run it. I think it is building a font cache or something. If the icon remains in the dock, that is probably what's happening. But if not...
The differences are that: 1) I am using the latest dmg that supposedly fixed the bad library. 2) When I run zenmap from the command line, I get no errors. Things just do not work. E.g.: Pauls-MacBook-Pro:/ paul$ sudo open /Applications/Zenmap.app Password: Pauls-MacBook-Pro:/ paul$ /* After this the "zenmark wants to make changes" GUI appears, asks for the system password, and after I press OK, disappears forever. */
Try running /Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/MacOS/Zenmap or /Applications/Zenmap.app/Contents/MacOS/zenmap.bin from the command line. Also try opening the Console application and see if there are any log message produced. (Filter by "Zenmap".)
