trouble starting vncserver

[Christa Foley]

I have installed vncserver and I am having trouble getting it started. My vnc log has the errors:
no logger found! stderr
Unrecognized option: -desktop
aCC runtime: ERROR: _main() not called.
xsetroot: unable to open display 'opm-prd:15'
vncconfig: unable to open display "opm-prd:15"
Any ideas?

Looks like it wasn't compiled right. Did it come as depot or source code?

I had real problems with a couple of different versions of VNC, until I downloaded RealVNC, which works fine on HP-UX 11.11 on a RISC server. (B1000 and J5000)

I downloaded version 3.3.7.2

I was installed from source code. I installed RealVNC, but it is version 4.0. I will try the older version and see if that helps. If you have any more ideas, please let me know.
Thanks.

This is a compile error.

I got the depot file from the gatekeep.cs.utah.edu - the software porting center.

This is version 3.3.7.2 and it is Realvnc.

Can use swinstall to install the package

One caveat on the RealVNC version 3.7.2, you may need also to apply the following patches (if you haven't already)

PHSS_31255 - s700_800 11.11 Xserver cumulative patch

PHSS_30787 - s700_800 11.11 X/Motif Runtime Periodic Patch

PHSS_30788 - s700_800 11.11 CDE Base Periodic Patch

PHSS_30789 - s700_800 11.11 CDE Applications Patch

ok. I was able to get v4.0 to work on another 11.0 system, but I still can't get it to work on the original system. Which doesn't make sense. I tried to find the depot on the site mentioned, but I can't find it there.

Alternatively you can get Chuck Slivkoff's version 3.3.7 HP-UX depot files.

I was able to get v3 to work with the depot. Thanks for everyone's help.
