did you try to rebuild your libsdl?
I have nothing to do with anything VNC...
This is a pure libvncserver build issue and has nothing to do with x11vnc.
you didnt run revdep-rebuild like directfb told you to re-emerge libsdl
hi spanky: indeed, reemerging libsdl solves the problem. I thought the scripts should do the revdep-rebuild, shouldn't they? regards, /iaw
