Thank you for the info Mike it is much appreciated. It has given me a good understanding on to how you guys work with the different distros. Also sorry if I caused upset. I am happy to help Jan out if he requires my help. I do not have RHEL but do have a CentOS server which is binary compatible so testing on that would work well. My current understanding of the issue is as follows. nxagent-3.5.0.17-3.1.x86_64 is asking for a dependency that is only available on OpenSuse which is xorg-x11-fonts-core. I believe this issue was resolved however when the rpm's attempted to be built it failed for some reason. Because of this the rpm's in the repo for RHEL_6 have not updated. I believe this is the current error: [ 669s] RPM build errors: [ 669s] Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.tWnA7V (%install) I have tried to install other version of nxagent from fedora 17 and 18 just in case this would work with no success. I am not sure if me giving Jan access to a server would help in this case. But I am happy to do this if it would help. A recommendation for Jan if he doesn't have any access to an RHEL system might be to use something like Virtualbox and create a CentOS Virtual Machine. This will make it very easy to test x2go on RHEL based systems. @Jan Please feel free to email me if I can be of any assistance.
