Nmap installed from git was perfect and is running ok , but zenmap is unable to install or open gui .

@peterpt This issue seems to have been reported earlier and addressed by @dmiller-nmap in the nmap-dev archives. Link - (http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2014/q2/315)

Hello,

Zenmap's build process currently depends on some actions taken by the
configure script and the Makefile. I am not surprised that you ended up
with errors after pulling it out of the Nmap source tree.

That said, if you have suggestions for how we can be more Pythonic in our
approach to building and installing our Python programs (Zenmap and Ndiff),
we welcome your input.

Thanks,
Dan
