Not surprising. I've said this before-- autotools is really bad about being compatible with itself. When they change the behavior of a function, they should really change the name of it as well to avoid these sorts of problems. > A seperate question is, if your gnutls includes this function: > grep -r gnutls_transport_set_global_errno /usr/include/gnutls/ No, it doesn't. I'm using the stock version of gnutls (1.0.20) that ships with RHEL 4. The TigerVNC configure script is properly detecting that I don't have the function, so it seems like one way to fix this would be to simply define a static macro if the gnutls_transport_set_global_errno function doesn't exist and then have the gnutls_transport_set_global_errno() macro pre-defined in config.h.in (but #ifdef around it based on the setting of the afore-mentioned static macro.) I'll look into implementing that on Monday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Tigervnc-devel mailing list Tigervnc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tigervnc-devel
