Hello, I just downloaded TightVNC 1.2.1 and tried to install it on a machine with Red Hat 6.0. Upgrading this system to Red Hat 7.1 or 7.2 is obviously the best solution, but for various reasons I can't do that right now. If possible, I'd like to get TightVNC working without having to do a major system upgrade right now.
Installing the RPMs intended for Red Hat 7.1 didn't work because I apparently have an old version of bash (<2.0) (which couldn't be upgraded because of other dependency issues). I can't believe bash has changed that much, so there ought to be a way to work around it. Compiling the source also didn't work -- the first instruction is to run xmkmf, which my system appartently doesn't have (at least not in the usual place). I don't seem to have imake either. These are part of XFree86, another system upgrade which is overdue but which I don't really have the time and disk space for right now. Now I have AT&T VNC 3.3.3 working fine on this same machine; I just want to try out TightVNC to see if it's faster in my situation. Thanks! --Robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
