The tightvnc client is gpl. The nx client that I know of is commercial software but it's a freely downloadable from nomachine.com. I've had a look at this but I'm a bit stumped by the nomachine.com nx client. When I install their client, it takes out my Cygwin installation... presumably because it is linked against an old copy of the cywin DLLs (which I'd have thought would be a violation of the Cygwin licence terms.) --- # ls C:\usr\cygwin\bin\zsh.exe (3752): *** system shared memory version mismatch dete cted - 0x75BE0074/0x75BE0084. This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL. Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should* reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you are unable to find another cygwin DLL. 159955652 [main] zsh 3288 fork_parent: child 3752 died waiting for longjmp before initialization zsh: fork failed: interrupt --- Uninstalling the nx client and rebooting fixes the fault which installing introduced. The knowledge base seems to gloss over this problem - claiming in separate articles that it is cosmetic or a known problem. I guess, given that I need cygwin, that my only option is to wait and hope the nx client for windows is fixed at some point? Steve -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
