> /usr/libexec/nx/nxagent.orig: error while loading shared libraries: libXcomp.so.

There is no nxagent.orig file in the nx package:

# smart install freenx nx
[...]
# ls /usr/libexec/nx/nxagent.orig
ls: cannot access /usr/libexec/nx/nxagent.orig: No such file or directory
# rpm -qlp
./download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/7/i386/nx-2.1.0-22.fc7.i386.rpm
./download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/7/x86_64/nx-2.1.0-22.fc7.x86_64.rpm
./download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/7/ppc/nx-2.1.0-22.fc7.ppc.rpm
| grep -c orig
0

I also checked nx-2.1.0-1.fc6 in case the *.orig was from an old install, but it
isn't part of it either.

I suggest you remove nx/freenx packages, make sure there are no leftovers from
previous nx installs in any way and reinstall.

The nxagent.orig was an artifact of my attempting to fix the problem myself,
unsuccessfully.  From a fresh install, with the 2.1.0-22 update, I get the same
problem.  Every time I install any other RPMs that install libraries, nxagent
breaks, and is  unable to find libXcomp.

When I manually run "ldconfig /usr/lib/nx", then it works again until the next
time I install any libraries.

I removed all traces of nx and freenx, reinstalled them with yum, and still have
the same behavior.  I've also seen this problem on a second machine running a
fresh install of Fedora 7 (updated).

Since ldconfig complains about the libraries in /usr/lib/nx, I think this may be
related to bug 247914.

well, fedora's nx is completely broken.

there's no /usr/NX/bin but /usr/libexec/NX

was this package tested before pushed to stable repositories ?

I got a similar problem. I actually fixed it by doing a:
ln -s /usr/bin/nxagent /usr/libexec/nx/nxagent

I used nomachine's client on a linux machine so the error message was different.
It might be a separate bug, but I got it to work after doing this.

The freenx installation is:
freenx-0.7.0-2.fc7 (x86_64)
nx-2.1.0-1.fc6 (i386)
Linux nx.uib.no 2.6.20-2936.fc7xen #1 SMP Fri Sep 21 11:56:20 EDT 2007 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

These kind of problems are expected: %{_libexecdir} is by definition not
supposed to be called directly by the user. Instead it is being called by other
programs like the ones under %{_bindir}

For example:
# cat /usr/bin/nxagent
#! /bin/sh

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/nx:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec /usr/libexec/nx/`basename $0` "$@"

E.g. the nxagent in the path makes the appropriate modifications to the library
search path before calling the actual binary. This is needed since nx ships some
modified standard X11 libraries which should only be visible by nx* binaries.
Since rpaths and static builds are generally deprecated one can only play with
dynamically modified library paths.

Which more or less means that one may not call %{_libexec} binaries directly.

In light of this does anyone see any bug still? :)
