[Solved] vncserver cannot init font path element /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/

aurora72 · #1 October 5th, 2009, 21:20

Hello,

I've installed vnc-4.1.3_1 with the make config option of vnc server selected so it downloaded additional files named x430src-1.tgz (10MB)
x430src-2.tgz (7775kB)
x430src-3.tgz (11MB)
and successfully compiled into the executable vncserver.

After my first try, vncserver did not work and the log file read:

Code:

IBM# cat /root/.vnc/IBM.HOME.COM:3.log 
Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/local/lib/X11/rgb'

After this error, a friend in this forum suggested that I check the existence of the file /usr/local/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy , so I checked it and it wasn't available in that path but in:

/usr/ports/net/vnc/work/vnc-4_1_3-unixsrc/unix/xc/programs/Xserver/Xext/SecurityPolicy

Then I've copied the SecurityPolicy from this location to
/usr/local/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy, and

Code:

error opening security policy file /usr/local/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

part of the error log is gone.

It seems that the problem is basically about the path & existence of the files so I searched for the next missing file, namely the rgb and installed the rgb :

Code:

cd /usr/ports/x11/rgb & make install clean

and the rgb part of the error is gone.

Now I'm left only with this error:

Code:

IBM# cat /root/.vnc/IBM.HOME.COM:2.log

At this site it is reported that adding /usr/X11/bin to PATH eliminated that kind of problem. I've added "/usr/X11R6/bin" to the PATH variable at /.profile as there was no /usr/X11/bin in my FreeBSD 7.2.
So the resulting PATH is:

Code:

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:~/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

But, still the # vncserver results in the same error I've given above. What should I do now?

Thanks.
