Nmap fails to install...

[Gregory Gallagher <ggallagjr () verizon net>]

…on Mac OS 10.7.5 after three attempts using the nmap Mac installer that employs the 6.46 dmg -> 6.46mpkg, the latter 
"successfully installed."  The first two attempts showed the zenmap icon in the application folder, but this could not 
open the GUI even after trashing all of the fore-mentioned.  X-11 is already installed and Wire Shark runs normally.  
The directories ncat and nmap were deleted from  /usr/local/share after the first two tries.  However, ncat,ndiff, nmap 
and nping under /usr/local/bin was not allowed ("You do not have permission") The third attempt was made with the same 
result. "nmap" from the terminal prompt stated that the image could not be found in the initial installation attempt.  
All files were in the unhidden state, but I suspect that Apple has refused to make the bin files available to users.

The bottom line is that I now have two machines, Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro, that will not run nmap as it is presently 
configured.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Greg
