I'm getting an error where zenmap is not able to locate nmap, even though nmap is installed an working.
I tried editing the path section of zenmap.conf and removing the "../" in front of nmap, but it didn't seem to make any difference.
Just curious if anyone else here got around this issue.

There seem to be an open issue about it.
Strange that what you did didn't fix it, as suggested in the issue.
Maybe try also putting the full path of nmap there.
Of course, use the file in your home
~/.zenmap/zenmap.conf
should it be available also elsewhere, e g. /use/...
I tried adding the full path to nmap in zenmap.conf.
I don't know what is causing the issue, but the error states that nmap cannot be found. The error also shows the path, which includes /usr/bin, where nmap is installed, so I think the error message might be a bit misleading.
I figured out the issue.
First, I'm not embarrassed to admit when I made a mistake. So, with that being said, my mistake was editing .zenmap/zenmap.conf in my home directory. Making the edit under roots home directory fixed the issue.
