For all *VNC-is-great guys:
Have you ever tried to WORK using your *VNC based connection? I mean, not only doing simple administrative tasks, but work? Write an document in staroffice, reply to some slashdot posts in konqueror/netscape? And everything using a ISDN modem with ping of 200 ms? I have tried. It is impossible. Sorry.
It could have been possible if everything had been written using some "light" toolkit and X protocol greatly modified but unfortunately it isn't.
The goal of ML-View is to make it all possible using standard X server, standard qt/gtk toolkit!
And the problem of using it under Windoze, MacOS or anything? You use dxpc now, you will use mlview-dxpc soon. Leave us some time. Maciek, YAMD (= yet another mlview developer)
1. X is free (!)
2. X is standard (!!)
3. X sucks, indeed, but it's much easier to
improve it that to impose another standard

What you need to compile mlview is lzo-devel library,
not just lzo.
BTW, it is true with most programs: you need xxx library
to run them, and xxx-devel to compile.
