hi,

From what little I understand it would seem that the problem stems from to enable OS detect function (-O or-A). If i use there (into scan sessions) start """the file""" / usr / local / share / nmap / nmap-os-db (with parse error).
while options --osscan-guess & - osscan-limit do not create errors!
sorry if I expressed myself badly & my inexperience)
??????? thanks!

Looks like there's a problem with your install of nmap. I'd try reinstalling, and see if that takes care of the problem.

Thanks scottm99,
I'm purge & reinstall from the repo Worked fine!
it was just ONLY MY problem! was caused by an update (nmap) using python script.
OK THANKS!
