CentOS Errata and Bugfix Advisory 2005:1214-2
CentOS 4 i386 NX - Bugfix Update (Extras Only)
This CEBA rolls in updates to NX server up to and including the "Third Maintenance Release of the NX 1.5.0 Server Packages" from www.nomachine.com.
You should use the latest nomachine client from this link to connect to CentOS after this NX upgrade:
http://www.nomachine.com/download.php
---------------------------------------------------------
The following items are among the bugs that have been resolved since the previous CentOS release of NX:
* Sessions may be left in status 'suspending'.
* The NX server fails to go in timeout when the NX Client Available GUI remains open.
* Sometimes NX server doesn't forcibly kill a failed X11 session and leaves it hanging.
* The space character is not supported in the NX user's passwords.
* The NX server doesn't allow empty password for VNC sessions.
* Some applications like Java NetBeans and IntelliJ, MS PowerPoint run through CrossOver Office and SlickEdit don't work properly in a X11 session.
* Resuming OpenGL-based 3D applications running in an X11 session may show windows with no content.
* The keyboard doesn't work properly when an X11 session is migrated from a x86 platform to Mac OS X and vice versa.
* Removed the dialog shown when a session is resumed over a slow link.
* The X11 agent may crash when the proxy on the client side disconnects.
* Floating X11 sessions may shut down unexpectedly when minimized applications are still running.
* An X11 session fails to start if the -kb option is specified in the AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_X key.
* Sudden disconnection of a rootless X11 session when saving an unreachable link with Konqueror.
* Double redraw of the NoMachine splash screen at RDP session startup.
* Buggy display of scroll-bar patterns in the OpenOffice application run inside a RDP full-color session.
* Improvements on the way nxsetup creates links to the run-level directories for starting and stopping the NX server services.
* Added the shutdown command to stop the NX server and terminate all the sessions.
* Solved problems related to the minimizing and the refresh of windows and cursor shapes when reconnecting a seamless session.
* Solved the unreliable behaviour when running IntelliJ, BeanShell, Wine, PerlTK and XView applications in seamless sessions.
* Fixed the bugs arising when resizing the RDP agent's window.
* Solved the incorrect handling of some X11 agent options, like the 'norender', 'slow' and 'fast' options that may be specified in the NX server configuration.
* Fixed problems with the CUPS backend on AMD64 architectures.
* Improved detection of session status in the case of abnormal session terminations.
* Improved management of user accounts with options for setting UID, GID and home directory of the NX accounts to be created.
* Added a new configuration key to forcibly disable the initialization of the keyboard layout on the remote X server. This may be useful for test purposes.
* Improvements in NX server's methods to verify the validity of the configuration parameters.
* Fixed printing jobs hangs when printing from remote server.
* Improvements to handling of expose events.
* Disabled some logs left in the X11 agent.

Hi all,
One more time, I have a problem :)
I am trying to compile an application which needs expat. I have installed the "expat" and "expat-devel" packages with yum but when I try to compile my application, I have the following problem : expat_external.h is not found.
This file is nowhere on my PC. I asked other peoples and some Debian users tell me that this file is part of the libexpat1-dev package on their distribution. Well, I didn't find this package with yum on the CentOS repository.
Does it mean that it is not available ?
What can I do to solve this problem?
Thank you for your answers,
Jean LEE

Which application? Might help us either resolve the problem or suggest a workaround, e.g. $app is available in Extras or from Dag, use that instead.

Hi,
This application is rfdump. available at www.rfdump.org This is for radio frequency identification (RFID) tag reading and is not available with CentOS.
There is a precompiled binary which is given but I would like to compile it by myself.....
Thanks,
Jean

Personally, I'd stick with pre-compiled binaries for reasons exactly like this. :)
There's a considerably modified expat.h included with rfdump in ./src/ which appears to override the default OS /usr/include/expat.h header file.
There's an #include "expat_external.h" in the ./src/ header file. I don't know if expat_external is deprecated or what. You could try grabbing the CentOS expat SRPM and see if it's in there then copy it out to /usr/include though I don't know what the knock-on effects of that could be. IANADeveloper. :)

Thank you for your support,
I downloaded the SRPMS but didn't find any expat_external.h in the sources. I think that I will try with the precompiled binary...
Bye,

For what it's worth; if you rename the ./src/expat.h, the makefile finds /usr/include/expat.h and at least that source file compiles.
However, further down in the build process, you get an error gcc -g -O2 -o rfdump main.o support.o interface.o callbacks.o settings.o xml.o tagtypes.o rfid.o -Wl,--export-dynamic -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangoxft-1.0 - lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined reference to `FT_Get_BDF_Property'
and I didn't pursue it any further. Tony
