Answer : Installing VNC 4.1 on AIX 5.3

Well, let me give you some detail.

You need from toolbox

gcc-4.2.0-3.aix5.3.ppc.rpm
gcc-cplusplus-4.2.0-3.aix5.3.ppc.rpm
libgcc-4.2.0-3.aix5.3.ppc.rpm
libstdcplusplus-4.2.0-3.aix5.3.ppc.rpm  
libstdcplusplus-devel-4.2.0-3.aix5.3.ppc.rpm

Download the packages, cd to the directory where you downloaded them to and issue

rpm -ivh gcc-4.2.0-3.aix5.3.ppc.rpm

- repeat for every package above.

On AIX you need to have installed

- all filesets starting with bos.adt...  
- all filesets starting with X11.adt.... , X11.base..., X11.compat..., X11.motif...

For VNC you need  vnc-4_1_3-unixsrc.tar.gz

Download it (if you haven't done so already), cd to the directory where you downloaded it to and issue

gunzip vnc-4_1_3-unixsrc.tar.gz
tar -xvf vnc-4_1_3-unixsrc.tar

cd to ./vnc-4_1_3-unixsrc/unix

and issue

./configure  
make

Then proceed with

vncinstall

as written in the README file.

Good luck!
