Latest nmap (4.50) in current and its gui
I dont seem to be able to get the gui (zenmap) working at all. It says unable to import dbapi2.pysqlite2 or sqlite3. I cannot find such packages in the slackware repository, so is there something i am missing? Maybe i should go back to previous version...

For now, yeah, previous version or don't bother with the gui.
Slackware doesn't include sqlite, so the python sqlite module isn't present. I think you also need pygtk for that gui too. |
You can install sqlite using slackbuild from http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12...raries/sqlite/ or search linuxpackages if you don't want to compile.

It is better either to add sqlite to Slackware officially or to remove xnmap. What for do we have a non working executable?

Or at the very least, the GUI for nmap won't be included in the stable release. In either event, nothing is guaranteed to work in -current, so this is not indicative of the final product in any way. |
Looks like we still have a non working executable here. I'm running 12.1 full install and I'm getting the same error. This definitely doesn't look too good. I am aware of the possibility to install sqlite, but nonetheless I somehow don't like the idea of including a program with unsatisfied dependencies into the distribution.

I'm having the same issue
I'm running nmap on Slackware 12.1 and also get dbapi2.pysqlite2 errors.
Is the cure to install sqlite3 ? |
Yes. You also need the python module for it which ships in it's own source tarball. Here is what I do on my DIY build:

Installing sqlite and pysqlite should do it. I didn't try it tho.
|
Thanks. I had no idea what the program even was... but it bothered me that it didn't work :)

Are you blaming Slackware team? Blame for not including wxGTK and wxPython to fulfil BitTorrent requirements.
Blame the developers. |
I don't blame anyone here, and I don't care too much about bittorrent either because I use ktorrent. Aditionally, bittorrent is not part of a full install while zenmap is. It appears in the desktop menu after having done a full install and it just won't start up. That's what I'm trying to point out here.
I just don't think it should be like that in a release version. Either those two MB of additional software should be included or zenmap excluded from the package. Imagine what would happen in the public discussion if a windows version were released with a start menu entry that won't bring up a new window. Well, ok, windows brings a lot less programs after installation :D - but still, even if you install some 100 programs out of the box, they should be working afterwards. |

I'm surprised there's been no "official" response concerning this issue.... Yes, people can build their own packages but that's not to say that you should make them. Where's the beef? ;)
These are the "official" support forums, are they not? A half year of "heads up" and it's still broken. |
