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 ?




Thanks & Regards
