Blah. Well, there were a couple of bugs in the plist files. I was
apparently using a non-existent CMake variable (I misspelled
"CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME" as "CMAKE_PACKAGE_NAME"), so the package was
installing under the name "com.virtualgl.", which is probably what was
causing problems. Try the following:
-- Run /opt/TurboVNC/bin/uninstall or "TurboVNC Uninstall.app" to
uninstall any package you currently have installed. That should remove
the errant "com.virtualgl." package
-- Manually run
sudo pkgutil --forget com.virtualgl.turbovnc
That will get rid of any receipt from a previous legitimate install.
-- Now try installing the latest pre-release DMG
(http://virtualgl.sourceforge.net/vnc.nightly/) that I just uploaded,
and hopefully it will work. You can run
pkgutil --pkgs | grep virtualgl
to verify that only the 'com.virtualgl.turbovnc' package is installed.
