Anyone out there seeing the following error with the new 3.3.6 RedHat 7.3 rpm?
I just installed 3.3.6 on my Windows 2000 box, excited about the prospect of better cut & paste support. I run the VNC server on my Windows box and connect to it from a RedHat 7.3 Linux x86 box. But...., my mouse movements became very very slow. I think the new VNC install picked up my old configuration, which I had optimized for performance a while back, since I didn't need to reset passwords, etc. So...., I thought maybe I needed to get the latest 3.3.6 running on my RedHat 7.3 (2.4.18-10 kernel) Linux box hoping that might fix the performance problem. I now get the following error: ---------- /home/sgowen % VNC viewer version 3.3.6 - built Dec 2 2002 10:51:30 Copyright (C) 2002 RealVNC Ltd. Copyright (C) 1994-2000 AT&T Laboratories Cambridge.
