Tiger users - I hope this isn't too stupid a question, but I need
some advice from your experiences....

I'd really like to switch our group of users to TigerVNC server
from TurboVNC server (for reasons I won't bore you with). I have an
older version of Tiger running here now, but it suffers from the
"no key repeating" problem, so I need to move to a version that's
new enough to incorporate the fix for this.

The problem is that these newer versions are all being built on
fedora 11 and higher, which uses a GLIBC of 2.7 - but my RHELv5.2
machines that I must use have a GLIBC of 2.5, so simply downloading
the rpms that "atkac" builds won't work for me  :(

I can see and download the source for these newer builds, so I could
try to build the TigerVNC server on one of my RHELv5.2 machines -
but I'll admit that I'm stumped on exactly how to accomplish
this...

So, my questions are :

1) anybody out there successfully built a "recent" version of TigerVNC
    server on RHELv5.2 ? Willing to share ?  :)

2) the downloaded/extracted source files appear to have an rpm .spec
    file in them - so is the build as "simple" as just running rpm
    using that .spec file ? Can anyone offer any suggestions and/or
    advice on doing the VNCserver build that might help me out ?

   Thanks for any thoughts / suggestions --
   
       John
