How To Use Vncviewer With Rc11

[g33k]

vncviewer in the unstable feed doesn't work with RC11 on my 860. This is because its looking for libstdc++.so.5, which is sadly absent. After some fiddling, my man scogan figured out how to get it working.

Make a temp folder to goof around in:

Code: [Select]

mkdir tmp
cd tmp
Get the RC9.1 version of libstdcxx:

Code: [Select]

wget http://mirror1.pdaxrom.org/rc9.1/feed/libstdcxx_5.0.5_armv5tel.ipk
It may be that you could simply use the package manager to install this ipk. We weren't sure that the package would install cleanly and not break stuff, so we extract the needed file manually.

Unpackage the IPK:

Code: [Select]

tar zxvpf libstdcxx_5.0.5_armv5tel.ipk
Now unpackage the data package contained therein:

Code: [Select]

tar zxvpf data.tar.gz
Now copy the relevant file into /usr/lib:

Code: [Select]

cp ./usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5 /usr/lib
Finally, symlink the file to its appropriate name:

Code: [Select]

ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
Now vncviewer should work!

totally cool instructions, dude. many thanks!

Thank you so much! These instructions work for me on my SL-C1000 using RC.12.

Maybe even easier to use the VNC viewer from the RC12 feeds :-) The C7x0-860 version should work on most.

This topic should be merged with the pinned one as the problem doesn't only concern vncviewer. It doesn't work on RC11 nor RC12 without installing libstdc++.so.5.

Should be nice to add a basic troobleshooting procedure for ipks to the FAQ:
- Run it from the console
- Search google/the forum with the error message
