Thanks for the reply. I've got the same problem on all machines we have vnc on. This ranges from AIX 5.2 ML03 upto and including AIX 5.3 ML04. I think compiling is a waste of time but I've ran out of ideas to try...

That is where the CDE would start vs plain X. For the second, here is the steps I did to compile on AIX 5.2. Maybe AIX 5.3 would be the same??? 1) http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi get sourcode for unix 2) I installed gcc 3.3.2 I just couldn't get it to work with xlc. 3) I installed GNU make 3.80 4) I used xfree86 4.2.1 5) I replaced the config/cf/ibm files with the same ones from Xorg. see below 6) Goto the unix directory and do "configure" and then "make" 7) It would go so far and quit on the vncconfig, vncviewer etc. But cd into each dir it complains about and cut and paste the line from the screen where it tried to build the executable and add the missing libraries. You add "../../Xregion/libXregion.a, ../../rdr/librdr.a, ../../zlib/libz.a and ../../rfb/librfb.a at the end of the lines. (Hope that is enough "../"s....:) 8) apply the xc.patch as directed. 9) apply the hpux_gcc.patch in the same fashion as the xc.patch (it will update the hp stuff as well, but you don't care). 10) goto the programs/Xserver/vnc and create links for each of the ".cc" source files to end in ".C" , like this: ln -s vncHooks.cc vncHooks.C Same in programs/Xserver/vnc/Xvnc 11) edit vnc.def to suit: mine is ============================================================================ ==== #define BuildServersOnly YES #define BuildFonts NO #define BuildClients NO #define BuildDocs NO #define BuildPexExt NO #define BuildNls NO #define BuildXIE NO #define BuildGlxExt NO #define XnestServer NO #define XprtServer NO #define BuildXKB NO #define HasCplusplus YES #define CplusplusOptions #define ProjectRoot /usr #define DefaultFontPath /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/iso_8859.1/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/ fonts/iso_8859.1/75dpi/ #define CcCmd <path to gcc> #define OptimizedCDebugFlags #define DefaultCCOptions #define SharedLibraryCCOptions -shared #define PositionIndependentCFlags -fPIC -DCDE #define ExtraLoadFlags #define LdPostLib #define BuildXInputExt YES #define BuildGlxExt YES #define BuildGLXLibrary YES #define BuildPhigs YES #define BuildCup YES #define CppCmd <path to cpp> #define CplusplusCmd <path to g++> #ifdef SunArchitecture #define ProjectRoot /usr/openwin #define HasGcc2 YES #define BuildXKB NO #endif #define HasFreetype2 NO #define BuildVNCExt YES #define VNCExtDefines -DVNCEXT #define X_BYTE_ORDER X_BIG_ENDIAN #define SiteExtensionDefines VNCExtDefines #define SiteExtensionDirs vnc #define VncUnixDir $(TOP)/.. #define VncCommonDir VncUnixDir/../common #define VncExtLibs VncCommonDir/rfb/librfb.a \ VncCommonDir/Xregion/libXregion.a \ VncCommonDir/network/libnetwork.a \ VncCommonDir/rdr/librdr.a #define SiteExtensionLibs vnc/LibraryTargetName(vnc) VncExtLibs #define ServerTarget(server,subdirs,objects,libs,syslibs) @@\ CCLINK = $(CXXENVSETUP) $(CXX) @@\ ServerTargetWithFlags(server,subdirs,objects,libs,syslibs,$(_NOOP_)) ====================================================================== 12) setenv CC "gcc path" setenv CXX "g++ path" setenv CPP "gcc's cpp path" 13) go back to the xc directory do the "make World" 14) not all stuff gets made, but I did end up with a working Xvnc.

The first problem is using the pre-packed rpm image from IBM's linux toolkit website. After running fine on numerous machines for months displaying the CDE, all of a sudden it's stopped displaying CDE and displays just the basic X-Widows display. This problem has occured on multiple machines running various patch & OS levels. The only machine NOT to be affected is the only machine to have its own graphics cards - all of the other machines are LPARs (Logical Partitions) and hence do not have a graphics card. Has anyone seen anything like this before? My second problem stems from the first. I'm trying to compile the source code for the latest version to see if it fixes my problems but I'm running into compile errors. I'm compiling on AIX 5.3 ML04, using GCC/GCC C++ 4.0.0.1 AND gnumake 3.80.1. I've commented out the following line "#include <X11/extensions/XShm.h>" as it through up another error, and this was suggested through another users post. My error is as below, can anyone please help!!: TXImage.h:82: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'XShmSegmentInfo' with no type TXImage.h:82: error: expected ';' before '*' token TXImage.h: In member function 'bool TXImage::usingShm()': TXImage.h:62: error: expected primary-expression before ';' token TXImage.cxx: In constructor 'TXImage::TXImage(Display*, int, int, Visual*, int)': TXImage.cxx:42: error: type 'struct shminfo' is not a direct base of 'TXImage' TXImage.cxx: In member function 'void TXImage::put(Window, _XGC*, const rfb::Rect&)': TXImage.cxx:144: error: 'XShmPutImage' was not declared in this scope TXImage.cxx: In member function 'void TXImage::createXImage()': TXImage.cxx:193: error: 'XShmQueryExtension' was not declared in this scope TXImage.cxx:194: error: expected unqualified-id before '=' token TXImage.cxx:197: error: expected primary-expression before ',' token TXImage.cxx:197: error: 'XShmCreateImage' was not declared in this scope TXImage.cxx:200: error: expected unqualified-id before '->' token TXImage.cxx:204: error: expected primary-expression before '->' token TXImage.cxx:205: error: expected unqualified-id before '->' token TXImage.cxx:207: error: expected primary-expression before '->' token TXImage.cxx:209: error: expected unqualified-id before '->' token TXImage.cxx:212: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token TXImage.cxx:212: error: 'XShmAttach' was not declared in this scope TXImage.cxx:222: error: expected primary-expression before '->' token TXImage.cxx:228: error: expected primary-expression before '->' token TXImage.cxx:240: error: expected primary-expression before ';' token TXImage.cxx:241: error: expected unqualified-id before '=' token TXImage.cxx: In member function 'void TXImage::destroyXImage()': TXImage.cxx:256: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token TXImage.cxx:258: error: expected primary-expression before '->' token TXImage.cxx:259: error: expected primary-expression before '->' token TXImage.cxx:260: error: expected primary-expression before ';' token TXImage.cxx:261: error: expected unqualified-id before '=' token Thanks John **************************************************************************** The information contained in this email is intended only for the use of the intended recipient at the email address to which it has been addressed.
