One option is to download our (partly commercial) ThinLinc product from www.cendio.com. Then, you can either use it "normally", or just manually install the thinlinc-vnc-server RPM package. It will install Xvnc into /opt/thinlinc/libexec/Xvnc.

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
