Just thought I'd let you know that I had to add three times #include

should be trivial to reproduce as all it takes is to try to build 
RealVNC Free Edition on Ubuntu Linux.  Two times, there was missing a 
prototype for malloc() and once a prototype for atoi().  How you've 
managed to build these C++ sources with other compilers is beyond my 
knowledge and understanding.



I just use Ubuntu repository packages and avoid compiling.  I'm almost 
always happier because it is so fast and easy to use the packages that I 
don't want to do the extra work to get some small tweak.

Set an environment variable for an app.

Hi, 
I need to set an environemt variable for a program running via
vncviewer.  It requires a env. variable JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_31.  I
have tried looking up on the web for hours and have had no luck.  I am sure
this is something very easy, if I just knew how.

Thanks,

Karen

I'm extremely rusty with all things Unix, and I've never played with Linux,
but this might help.

I would think that you could just add it to the ~/.vnc/xstartup file just 
after the first line (the first line is typically #!/bin/sh without the 
quotes):


export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_31

(I removed a period from the end of that line assuming it wasn't meant to 
be part of the line.)

man vncserver :-

   $HOME/.vnc/xstartup A shell script specifying X applications to
  be run when a VNC desktop is started.  If it doesn't
  exist, vncserver will create a new one which runs a
  couple of basic applications.

Specify whatever you want in there (its just a shell script).

Sincerely,
