To easily reproduce this on gentoo, mount -o remount,noexec,rw /dev/shm symlink /tmp to /dev/shm (or just mount it at /tmp noexec if you haven't already) and emerge vnc aliz@gentoo.org 2003-06-28 15:23:29 0000 Could you post a log with the buildprocess failing? My setup doesnt allow for an easy setup for a noexec /tmp. aliz@gentoo.org 2003-11-21 07:52:35 0000 Copied the fix from tightvnc. Try it now. matthew@matts.org 2003-11-21 12:28:51 0000 Excellent, it works great now. Thanks!
