Intallation problems under RedHat Linux 5.0

[Tristan Richardson]

Hi Anil,

What seems to be going wrong here is that the X server can't find the
directories containing the fonts.  The important error message is the bit that
says:

> failed to set default font path
> '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fon
> ts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75
> dpi/,/usr/X11R6/ lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/' 


In other words there isn't a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory.  This is
probably because you don't have the XFree86-3.3.1-14 RPM.  On our Redhat 5
machines we get:

  % rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
  XFree86-3.3.1-14

You'll have to get this package before you can run VNC.

Cheers

Tristan
