Well, what you do next depends on what type of package it is. If its an
rpm then you can just a rpm -ivh package-name.i386.rpm

 

If it's a tar.gz, then you probably need to compile it. In that case

./configure 

make

make test OR make check

make install

 

configure almost always defaults to /usr/local so you can look there for
where it installed everything.

 

If you only need the server and you use gnome, I'd skip realvnc and go
for Vino

 

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/vino/2.7/

 

Its much easier to setup for a single user desktop.

Hello, 

I am an intern this summer, working with linux for the very first
time...yikes! I am trying to learn this...and i am pretty much on my
own, which makes it tough!! 

However, I have to download and install REALVNC onto my linux
machine...i have downloaded but i am having a hard time with the whole
installation...i did an ls once it was downloaded and did not see
anything that would help with the configuring of it...anyone really good
at this and feel they can help someone really dumb?? haha 

Thank you! 

Lauren
