Hi. I'm running RHES 4.1 and I've installed the vnc-server (vnc-server-4.0-8.1) via up2date but seem to be getting dependency problems. The problem in a nutshell: On running vncserver, I get: error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy and then three "command not found" errors I would like to know: --which package creates the "xserver" directory in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/? --which package provides "xsetroot"? --why Red Hat is distributing the vnc-server with these dependency problems and what we can do to correct them? The details: Upon running vncserver for the first time, I get the following in its (newly created) log file: Xvnc version 4.0 - built Nov 24 2004 16:08:56 Underlying X server release 60801000, The X.Org Foundation Sat Aug 13 02:33:58 2005 vncext: VNC extension running! vncext: Listening for VNC connections on port 5901 vncext: Listening for HTTP connections on port 5801 vncext: created VNC server for screen 0 error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/, removing from list!

I can see that two of those last three "command not found" errors are due to my not having two packages installed: "xterm" requires the xterm package "twm" requires the xorg-x11-twm package but I can't find a package that delivers "xsetroot" I installed those two packages (xterm and xorg-x11-twm) and now get the following in the log file: Xvnc version 4.0 - built Nov 24 2004 16:08:56 Underlying X server release 60801000, The X.Org Foundation Sat Aug 13 03:08:49 2005 vncext: VNC extension running! vncext: Listening for VNC connections on port 5901 vncext: Listening for HTTP connections on port 5801 vncext: created VNC server for screen 0 error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/, removing from list!
