Thanks... vapier@gentoo.org 2002-08-21 08:50:38 0000 usually this kind of thing is supposed to be taken up on the forums ... but while its here why dont you post your config files never@e-kki.it 2002-08-21 08:56:11 0000 where is the forum you mean ? (thanks) My cfg is very simple, Gentoo 1.2/gcc 2.95.3 (just installed) the USE var is empty (in make.conf) athlon tb 1400 /256mb ram. I don't know what other info do you mean, but i'm glad to tell you if you ask :) Many other users have this type of problem, (from TightVNC ML) so,isn't an isolated problem.

TightVNC v.1.2.5 edit the vncserver perl script : line 70 , change the line: if (!xauthorityFile) { into if (!$xauthorityFile) { now, all works OK ! :) (thanks to a friend of mine (nick poisson) for this fix !) vapier@gentoo.org 2002-08-22 14:06:50 0000 not fixed until the version that everyone emerge's is fixed ;) never@e-kki.it 2002-08-23 00:02:57 0000 ok ;-) woodchip@gentoo.org 2002-08-26 22:11:51 0000 Fixed in tightvnc-1.2.5-r1. --Donny never@e-kki.it 2002-08-27 02:33:41 0000 fine thanks :-) never@e-kki.it 2002-08-27 03:43:47 0000 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/tightvnc-1.2.5- r1/work/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/programs/Xserver/hw/vnc' gcc -o Xvnc -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -ansi -pedantic - L../.././/exports/lib dix/libdix.a os/libos.a ../.././/lib/Xau/libXau.a ../.././/lib/Xdmcp/libXdmcp.a ../.././/expo rts/lib/libfont.a hw/vnc/libvnc.a ../.././/../libvncauth/libvncauth.a cfb/libcfb.a cfb16/libcfb.a cfb24/libcfb.a cfb32/libcfb.a mfb/libmfb.a dix/libxpstubs.a mi/libmi.a Xext/libext.a -lz - lm -rdynamic -ldl -L/usr/local/lib -ljpeg -lz -Wl,-rpath- link,../.././/exports/lib make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/tightvnc-1.2.5- r1/work/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/programs/Xserver' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/tightvnc-1.2.5- r1/work/vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc/programs' >>> Install tightvnc-1.2.5-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/tightvnc-1.2.5-r1/image/ category net-misc patching file vncserver Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!
