Re: VNC versions

[steve%prd.co.uk@localhost (Steve Blinkhorn)]

I think this may be more diagnostic of either my ignorance or the fact
that I rarely build from pkgsrc on new systems.   Attempting to make
tigervnc from sources leads to:

autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy --force
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '.'.
libtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'.
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize: copying file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4'
autoreconf: running: /usr/pkg/bin/autoconf --force
configure.ac:671: error: possibly undefined macro:
XTRANS_CONNECTION_FLAGS
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/pkg/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
*** Error code 1

Stop.

Can someone advise as to a workaerounsd?
