rpm -qa | grep nx
freenx-server-0.7.2-8.fc9.i386
nxclient-3.2.0-9.i386
nx-3.2.0-27.fc9.i386

I couldn't connect, so on the server:

./nxsetup --test

   Please correct the configuration file.

I tried to set it up again:

./nxsetup
------> You did select no action.
         FreeNX guesses that you want to _install_ the server.
         Type "y" to abort the installation at this point in time.
         "N" is the default and continues installation.
         Use "./nxsetup --help" to get more detailed help hints.

  Do you want to abort now? [y/N]

------> It is recommended that you use the NoMachine key for
         easier setup. If you answer "y", FreeNX creates a custom
         KeyPair and expects you to setup your clients manually.
         "N" is default and uses the NoMachine key for installation.

  Do you want to use your own custom KeyPair? [y/N]

Now nxclient put libXcomp in:

/usr/NX/lib/libXcomp.so

which is not the nxsetup search path.

What am I missing?
