I installed the rpm and this is what happend:
1) i became root
2) i did an ls to find my vnc-4.0-1.i386.rpm
3) then i did an ls vnc-4.0-1.i386.rpm
4) then i did the rpm -ivh vnc-4.0-1.i38.rpm
then the computer said: preparing.....
1:vnc ######### [100%]
######### [100%]
and that is all that happened...is this correct or did it not
work??
If this is correct. what do i do next??

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
