I have two systems. Both are running Red Hat 7.0; one has Xfree 4.0.3
and the other 4.0.1.
I got the latest copy of tight-vnc source and compiled it with no
problems. Then I installed it. Again, no problem - until I tried to
re-start X. X would not start.
Turns out that tight-vnc (and I assume vnc as well) installs a new copy
of Xwrapper that tries to run /usr/X11R6/bin/X. On both my systems, X is
a link:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 kvl 29 02:01 /usr/X11R6/bin/X
-> Xwrapper
while the real binary resides in
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 1538632 srp 30 2000
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
I went through the source for vnc's Xwrapper, and it does not appear to
have anything particular to vnc in it. I got a copy of Xwrapper for
XFree 4.0, and replaced the vnc version, and all is fine.
Unfortunately, I do not have the source for XFree86 4,0, and I really
don't want to download the entire source tarball to compare the two
files.
Am I missing something? Is vnc's Xwrapper needed for vnc to work
right? Is the compile/configure just broken?
