Hello,
I am having problems getting freenx running in CentOS 4.5 i386_64. I know this is not a new problem, however, I havn't found a solution in all the postings I found on the web.
I did exactly what is supposed to work and described in detail at
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/FreeNX
After doing that I can connect to the server with nxcleint without problem but I get only a black screen. In the files
.nx/S.../session and errors
I see the warning
Warning: Unrecognized session type 'unix-gnome'. Assuming agent session.
The same happens with KDE.
With the command
nxloadconfig --check
I get the output
Warning: Could not find nxdesktop in /usr/bin. RDP sessions won't work. Warning: Could not find nxviewer in /usr/bin. VNC sessions won't work.

Errors occured during config check. Please correct the configuration file.
The libraries are definitely not where nx looks for them - they are located at /usr/lib64/NX/lib (and symlinks under (usr/lib/NX/lib). What is going wrong here? I also tried to use nxconfig with --setup- nomachine-key with the same results, except that I did not need to import the key in the nxclient anymore.
Does anyone has an idea to solve the problem?
hmmm, working on a x86_64 box ? Have you installed from scratch or have you made an upgrade ? if so, have you followed this 'manual update' ? : http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-October/088312.html
Which versions are actually installed and for which architectures ? rpm -q nx freenx --queryformat %{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n
