Is your tested OS 32-bit or 64-bit?

I built nx/freenx for RHEL6 beta2 a while back. Building itself was not a problem. However, I had trouble with the installation under i386 RHEL6 beta. The x86_64 version had no problem and worked fine.

Curent setup is also x86_64 for me, but I have a few items why I might
change to 32-bit again.

regards,

Florian La Roche

Please keep us posted. The failure with the i386 version was observed with another person. So, I decided to put this on hold and wait for the GA release.

I revisited the problem with RHEL6 beta2 32-bit and found a fix. NX now runs fine on both arches. Potentially a bug in the way certain X-related packages are installed on the 32-bit system. Will post details after some more investigation.

I have uploaded nx/freenx for RHEL/CentOS-6 for testing:

An updated version ( freenx-0.7.3-7.el6.ay and nx-3.4.0-7.el6.ay ) is now in the same place for testing.

http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx-freenx/6/ [^]

They were built from the same srpm that was used to build the current [official] nx/freenx in CentOS-4 and -5.

The next version will have a selinux fix ( bug 0005052 ).

Note about the harmless "error":

Error: Could not find 1.5.0 or 2.[01].0 or 3.[01].0 version string in nxagent. NX 1.5.0 or 2.[01].0 or 3.[012].0 backend is needed for this version of FreeNX.

Patch to fix it[1]:
