Dear Felipe, I have refereed the link. As the application I am writing needs root privileges, I must use sudo ./a.out. No other option.
Dear Bruggemann, I have gone through zenmap as suggested by you. But it is not going to work as zenmap itself is failing to launch. ============================= $ sudo zenmap No protocol specified No protocol specified Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/zenmap", line 181, in <module> import zenmapGUI.App File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/zenmapGUI/App.py", line 157, in <module> import gtk File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 69, in <module> _init() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 57, in _init warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning) gtk.GtkWarning: could not open display ============================= I am absolutely stuck now. Can some one please help me how to tackle this issue ?
