Can't Install nmap 5.21

[keithnickum@…]

Had an earlier version of nmap installed and had problems with upgrading. The error I'm getting now is a syntax error for setup.py:

Here's the general commands I used (more or less, forget the exact details but I *have* done all of these in order, at some point or another). I know some of it is more than a little redundant, but I thought I'd be 100% sure...also, the error is the same error throughout.

Please attach the full build log (do sudo port clean nmap && sudo port -dv build nmap | tee build_log.txt and upload the build_log.txt file)

Output of command 'sudo port clean nmap && sudo port -dv build nmap | tee build_log.txt'

Forgot to mention that I'm running Leopard, if that's important (work computer, hopefully we'll upgrade to Snow Leopard soon...).

Also forgot to mention that all commands were run as root user (did 'sudo -i' before running the commands I listed).

I'm getting the same errors on Snow leopard

fixed by disabling ndiff in r66431

(if ndiff is really needed, it could be re-enabled by adding a dependency on macports python)
