Installing VNC For Sun-Solaris
(Contribution by Rahul Jaising)
1) Download the tar.gz file from vnc from
http://www.realvnc.com/download.html
2) gunzip <filename.tar.gz>
3) tar -xvf filename.tar
4) cd to vnc* directory which was extracted from the tar
4) Run vncinstall as ./vncinstall /usr/local/bin
5) Run the cp command for the classes as shown in the README file
6) Run ./vncpasswd and enter a passwd
7) Run ./vncserver:X for start servers on display X
The above process with only give you an xterm when you log in using
VNC.
If you want the entire Desktop, go to the .vnc directory of the user
and
edit the xstartup file, to change twm to dtwm and change the PATH env
variable
to PATH=/usr/dt/bin:$PATH;export PATH. Your good to go.
(Contribution by Pinwu Xu)
Or you can get a Sun packaged version from www.sunfreeware.com, and running
pkgadd -d <vnc_file_name>
to install it.
After the install, go to /usr/local/bin, change the first line, from
"#!/usr/local/bin/perl"
to "#!/usr/bin/perl", make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH,
and
running
vncserver to configure/start VNC
