I was on kubuntu at the time. I also am running SimplyMepis on a 
different partition. Normally I run on stable version of somthing, and 
play with something more leading edge in the other. Right now, both 
linux's are beta releases, and I have munged something or another in 
both. I am going to wipe out kubutu and install Lenny for my more stable 
release and try not to muck with it too much.

I got it working here on the mepis distro. I used your dpkg output as a 
guide. I apt-got libsvncpp0c2a, vnc-common, and xtightvncviewer. Ran the 
viewer, and it worked.

  Thanks,
