x11vnc & tightvnc Expertise Required !
Hi all,
For the past 3 days I have been struggling like to setup a VNC system between a solaris 8 unix host server and a windows XP tightvnc client viewer.
Please bear in mind that the unix machine is crap & probably should be taken to the "Antiques Road Show on the BBC". Everything is a mess in terms of mount points and system structure. So i cleared nearly all environement variables and started from near-scratch.
I did this following many attempts to build the tightvnc server on the Unix machine and found that i have no c-compiler jpeg/zlib libraries etc etc etc.
As such went to mans best friend = www.sunfreeware.com and installed the pre-compiled packages i think i need. Once again tried to build the tightvnc unix server but failed misserably again. It first tried to use cc, and then i tried the gcc but it keeps failing due to some language errors ??? ???
I then tried endlessly, upto the point where i read that maybe i could use x11vnc as at the unix server and tightvnc as the windows client. Is this true ?
In any case i tried, and i seem to have managed to start the x11vnc, but when i installed tightvnc (all seemed ok) on winXP, it keeps on returning failed to connect to server. I can connect to the same host using citrix and xreflection, so Im honestly running out of ideas of how to get this thing to work and some some advice right now would save my mental health.
I promise a beer in london for whoever can resolve this issue for me....
My most best regards and gratitude in advance for your efforts and valuable time in this matter.

tightvncserver
vncserver(1) TightVNC vncserver(1)
NAME
vncserver - a wrapper to launch an X server for VNC.
SYNOPSIS
vncserver [:display] [-geometry widthxheight] [-depth depth] [-pixelformat rgbNNN|bgrNNN] [-name desktop-name] [ -httpport int ] [ -base-
httpport int ] [ -alwaysshared ] [ -nevershared ] [Xvnc-options...]
vncserver [ -clean ] -kill :display
vncserver -help
DESCRIPTION
vncserver is a wrapper script for Xvnc, the free X server for VNC (Virtual Network Computing). It provides all capabilities of a standard X
server, but does not connect to a display for itself. Instead, Xvnc creates a virtual desktop you can view or control remotely using a VNC
viewer.
OPTIONS
You can add Xvnc options at the command line. They will be added to the invocation of Xvnc without changes. The options provided by the
vncserver itself are as follows:
:display
The display number to use. If omitted, the next free display number is used.
-geometry widthxheight
Set desktop width and height.
-depth depth
Set the colour depth of the visual to provide, in bits per pixel. Must be a value between 8 and 32.
-pixelformat rgbNNN|bgrNNN
Set colour format for pixels representation. The viewer can do the conversion to any other pixel format, but it is faster if the
depth and pixel format of the server is the same as the equivalent values on the viewer display.
-name string
This specifies the name of the desktop.
-clean This option can be used in conjunction with
-kill :display
Stops the session running on the specified display.
-nevershared
Never allow shared desktops.
-alwaysshared
Always allow shared desktops.
-basehttpport int
The base http port to use for the java client applet (you have to install the tightvnc-java package to make this work). The real
port number will be port = base + display num.
-httpport int
The http port to use for the java client applet (you have to install the tightvnc-java package to make this work).
-help Prints a short usage notice to stderr.
EXAMPLES
vncserver
Invokes Xvnc on the next available display and with suitable defaults.
vncserver :1
Invokes Xvnc on display :1.
vncserver -geometry 800x600 -depth 16 :1
Invokes Xvnc on display :1 with desktop size of 800x600 pixels and color depth of 16 bits per pixel.
vncserver -kill :1
Shuts down Xvnc server on display :1.
