Compile error under Fedora 17

[dsgu...@gmail.com]

Since our environment upgraded from VMware View 5.0 to 5.1, the View Open Client 4.5 no longer works. (It connects, but loses the connection after about 10 seconds.) So I'm trying to compile it from source, but the source code seems to be geared towards an older Linux installation. The "make" step gives the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: gtk/vmware_view-cryptoki.o: undefined reference to symbol 'g_module_build_path'

/usr/bin/ld: note: 'g_module_build_path' is defined in DSO /lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 so try adding it to the linker command line

/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so.0: could not read symbols: Invalid operation

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Details on this link error are described here:

I've tried a few hacks to the Makefile with no success. Can anyone suggest a patch to get the link step to work on a current Fedora installation?

Or, alternatively, does anyone have any other suggestions for getting VMware View 5.1 to work with Fedora 17?

Following up my own post, I was able to compile successfully with:

LDFLAGS='-l gmodule-2.0 -lX11' ./configure

It seems to have reduced the frequency of disconnects (from about every 15 seconds to every few minutes), but it hasn't eliminated them.
