Try reinstalling the nmap utility.

sudo apt-get remove nmap

then

sudo apt-get install nmap

The question is whether nmap was installed in the first place. It does not come by default with Ubuntu Hardy at least.

Use the command

dpkg-query -s nmap

to find out.

If it's not there you can install it as adviced by Ian.

Can you help with this problem?
