Why re-compile (unless you've moved all your machines to 6.5). Compiling on 6.2
(with -mips3 -n32) will run on 6.5 with no problem. Once you build on 6.5 it
will not run on anything except 6.5.x. All the freeware sgi ship
(http://freeware.sgi.com/) is all built on 6.2.

That mail is for an old 3.3.1 (?) version, before VNC moved to use Xfree86
build. I never upgraded as I use it infrequently and at the time had no spare
time.

I have heard tha other people have managed to get it working, if anyone has a
binary distrib, then I don't mind hosting on my website to cut down their
bandwidth charges.

* Many thanks for your response
