Re: Setup of NX on Fedora 9 ?

so, I have a working Fedora 9 system now. Setting up NX (NoMachine VNC
client/server) causes me some problems:

Looking in the directory listing of the ftp server, I think I know where
the problem is: packaages are:
nx-3.2.0-27.fc9.i386.rpm
freenx-0.7.1-5.fc9.x86_64.rpm
freenx-server-0.7.2-8.fc9.x86_64.rpm

So somehow, a 32-bit nx package made it into the x86_64 repository, and
therefore freenx-server's dependencies are not met.

Might there be a problem with the mirrors, or am I missing something?
Has anyone got a working NX setup on Fedora 9?

no.
