I got vncserver installed on msi after figuring out that since I was running it as display :1 I needed to connect from the client on port 5901 rather than 5900 (man Xvnc: “The default is 5900 plus the display number”). This uses the bundled X server Xvnc.
Ok now vnc can be installed in native mode
cp /var/shared/build/vnc-4.0-x86_linux/vnc.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/
vi /etc/X11/XF86Config (Load “vnc”, and Option “passwordFile” ”/root/.vnc/passwd” )
kill -HUP `pidof X`
tail -f /var/log/XFree86.0.log
And it worked…until I logged in when there were errors.
cat ~/.xsession-errors
/usr/bin/gnome-session: relocation error: /usr/lib/libbonobo-activation.so.4: undefined symbol: ORBit_skel_class_register
Doh! Will try a yum update and reboot to see if that fixes it.
