Please ignore this rant, everyone... This, too, has been resolved. Dunno why I'm having so much fun with VNC lately, but I am... :-)
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John Aldrich Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 11:25 AM To: RealVNC List (E-mail) Cc: 'James Weatherall' Subject: VNC4.1.1 for Fedora What do I need to update in order to get my Fully-updated Fedora Core 3 box to let me install VNC-server 4.1.1? What in the build-environment is causing me to get a failed prerequisite of libstdc++.so.6? I'd be happy if I could install your pre-compiled binary, as otherwise, I'm going to have to go get the source for XOrg and a few other things just to build a binary RPM so I can install vnc-server 4.1.1 on my Core 3 box. I looked into getting compat-libstdc++ as Alasdair had suggested, but I'm already running the latest version for Fedora Core 3: [EMAIL PROTECTED] john]# rpm -q compat-libstdc++ compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2 So, I'm wondering what needs to be done to my box to get Real's 4.1.1 RPM installed... Alternatively, who do I need to contact at Redhat/Fedora to get them to build a backwards-compatible RPM? Also, just wondering why the Real RPM will ONLY work on the latest and greatest release of Fedora? Not everyone is going to want to upgrade every time that Fedora releases a new version. Heck, I jumped straight from RedHat 9 to Fedora Core 3. I may skip 4 entirely, if reports of it being extremely flaky don't subside... It would make better sense, in my opinion, if you're going to release a binary-only RPM, to release a version that would work with all currently supported releases of Fedora, i.e. Fedora 2, 3 and 4. I would like to take a moment to say that while this could be misconstrued as "bashing" Real or whining, I'm not intending it to come across that way. I'm a little frustrated that I'm looking at having to upgrade my libstdc++ (and probably a LOT more due to dependencies) just to install the most current release of VNC Server. I thought maybe by pointing out that VNC-server 4.1.1 won't install on Fedora Core 3, I could get the attention of the developers and maybe get them to release a "backwards-compatible" version of VNC server 4.1.1. :-) Thanks John _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
