_XGetReqest

[sblinkhorn]

I have tigerVNC running under NetBSD-7.0/amd64 on two machines for two different purposes.  One is to provide access to 6 other headless NetBSD servers, local and remote, via a vncviewer running on a Windows10 machine.  The other is to provide remote access to services for customers using noVNC in a browser.

In both circumstances I get errors involving _XGetRequest as an 'Undefined PLT symbol'.

For instance, in the second case I want to call xsetroot with the -cursor_name attribute, which fails.  But I can, for instance, call xsetroot with the -solid attribute set with no error.

What I can't discover is in which library _XGetRequest is meant to be, or whether it is intended to be compiled into tigerVNC itself.

Version 1.8.0.

That's from libX11, and it should normally be linked dynamically to
TigerVNC. Those errors sound like some build issue. E.g. TigerVNC was
built against a different version of libX11 than the one used when
actually starting TigerVNC.

I would suggest reporting it to the TigerVNC maintainer in NetBSD.
