There are new RPMS released for nx and freenx in the CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 Extras repository. I normally do not announce that here, as those can easily be obtained on a normal "yum upgrade/update", however in this case there are special actions required *_IF_* you have the x86_64 architecture for either CentOS-4 or CentOS-5 with the current versions of nx and freenx installed. The freenx and nx in the x86_64 tree were i386 versions prior to this release because the nomachine code would not compile on x86_64. This release fixes that and the new versions are x86_64 RPMS and no longer i386. This means that YUM will not update the currently installed i386 RPMS that are installed on x86_64 machines. ============= *_ATTENTION_* ============= If you are running nx and freenx on x86_64, to get these upgraded you *_MUST_*: 1. Manually download the x86_64 RPMS from these location: CentOS-5: <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/extras/x86_64/RPMS/freenx-0.7.1-1.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm> <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/extras/x86_64/RPMS/nx-3.0.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm> CentOS-4: <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/extras/x86_64/RPMS/freenx-0.7.1-1.el4.centos.x86_64.rpm> <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/extras/x86_64/RPMS/nx-3.0.0-4.el4.centos.x86_64.rpm> 2. Manually install these two RPMS with this command (as root from within the directory where you downloaded them): rpm -Uvh freenx-0.7.1-1.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm nx-3.0.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm (that command is all one line if it wraps on your e-mail) ============= I apologize for the manual update requirement, however yum will not update i386 packages with x86_64 ones. Again ... this is *_ONLY_* required if you have the prior released i386 versions of nx and freenx installed on the X86_64 arch of either CentOS-4.x or CentOS-5.x. If you are using the i386 architecture of CentOS-4.x or CentOS-5.x then you can just upgrade via yum normally.
