Hi, Brigitte, After reading your link about *.so files, I recompiled TightVNC 1.2.7 and it worked. The only difference this time was that I didn't try to install my own libz stuff. We have some libz.so files in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so I have no idea why I tried to install my own last time. For some reason, I thought it was necessary. Maybe at the time, didn't know to check my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Thanks for your helpful response. This new TightVNC seems to get around a potentially catastrophic problem with the old one, that is an 8-bit desktop crashes if I connect to it from a 24-bit desktop. That's one way to inadvertently terminate a simulation that has been running for weeks. Thank you again.

Hi,
I have done this but not for Solaris8.0 but for Dec Alpha Unix and I suspect
you have the some of the same problems I encountered. I described them:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=2656964
but did not get an answer.
It allowed me however to get a working version of Xvnc which is what I needed most.
I found an answer since via changing the file:
../vnc_unixsrc1.2.7/Xvnc/config/cf/vnclibs.def I attach my changed file since you do not have OSF1 (I do) you will change the #else part.
My change assumes that the jpeg and zlib reside
in ../vnc_unixsrc1.2.7/lib
(just like tightvnc1.2.2 which libraries)
If you do not have jpeg and zlib anymore you will to have
to download them
http://www.ijg.org/files/
http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
For building the vncviewer I just had to change its Imakefile
in the same way.

I just read your other email and it seems to me you have a
problem running Xvnc. It does not find the shared library for jpeg
(a shared library is something like a dll in Windows but better
in IMHO. Their names start with lib and end with .so) These libraries
must be available at runtime and on the box you are running your Xvnc ..
If these libraries are not in standard locations you must define the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH that they can be found
during execution.
for example for Korn shell
mydirectory <directory in which the .so file resides>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=mydirectory
do echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH first that you do wreck existing definitions .. if there is
something just add the additional item by export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=mydirectory:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Static libraries names start with lib end with .a and are built into
the executable. It makes the result executables bigger but
independent of installed libraries on any system you copy
them to.
Xvnc by default is build with almost all static libraries
by default.
(I recommend this ..)
find something about shared libraries and static libraries for example at:
http://herbert.the-little-red-haired-girl.org/en/c-tips/unix/
or at many other places.
Hope this helps
Brigitte
