nmap-4.21ALPHA4: need help to set NMAPDIR

[Computernerd22]

Hello fellow members of AO. Earlier tonight I downloaded and compiled the latest version of nmap for my Linux Redhat 9.0 box. And I ran it against another box on my LAN. The issue IM having is with the message before the scan. However, here is the output:

Starting Nmap 4.21ALPHA4 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-03-24 17:36 EST
Warning: File ./nmap-protocols exists, but Nmap is using /usr/local/share/nmap/nmap-protocols for security and consistency reasons. set NMAPDIR=. to give priority to files in your local directory (may affect the other data files too).

Interesting protocols on 192.168.1.100:

1.) How do I set NMAPDIR= to give priority to files in my local directory?

This version of nmap still works excellent.

All help is greatly appreciated. cn22
