Hi, i have OS X tiger 10.4.11, and i used terminal to install nmap 4.53, which went well, except everytime i type in nmap and hit enter, it keeps saying nmap unknown command, but if i type the entire directory, i.e. /usr/bin/local/nmap, nmap does run, how can i make it so that all i have to type is nmap? i don't really know terminal well so can someone give me a set off commands i can just enter into terminal please? thanks in advance

Try this:
Code: 
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/local' >> ~/.bash_profile
Then open a new terminal and see if that works.
 
What shell are you using?

Are you sure you mean /usr/bin/local and not /usr/local/bin?
 
yerp, but it's okay, i asked a tech, and he showed me how to use pico and add the path to ~/.bash_profile
