I agree, but besides the patch gentoo uses, I have no idea ...

I mean how can/should I know that your distribution has nxagent in /usr/lib/NX/nxagent?

You can set PATH_BIN to /usr/lib/NX/ in nxloadconfig or node.conf. Then it should also work ...

Anyway:

I think it is good that nxsetup (nxloadconfig) did complain.

Just imagine it did not complain and you came here with:

"nxagent does not work after update to 0.6.0 and I don't know why."
