[Solved] Can't find nmap executable in Metasploit

I've installed metasploit-git from the AUR, together with ruby1.9, as it didn't seem to work with 2.0. I now want to, inside the msfconsole, run "db_nmap -h" but it gives me the following error:

The nmap executable could not be found

I am guessing I am missing a file. What caused this? How do I fix it?

Install the nmap package.

Wow thanks, didn't realize it was a package.

db_nmap just runs nmap and saves the output to the metasploit database.

Mark the thread as solved.
