Mike,

My client worked, so I'm at a lose as to why the backport version
didn't.

I have a suggestion: get the client from http://nomachine.com or
http://kanotix.com/files/debian/ then reinstall from backports.

As I recall, I tried downloading everything from  jkantix and it
reported dependency problems. I did install the client from there but it
stll missed some dependencies (libs).

I removed kanotix from my sources file and then added and installed from
backports.ubuntuforum.org

Perhaps the earlier unsuccessful install got fixed in the process.

But, once I got the update from backports - (and I updated lots of
packages) the client worked on the first try.

I'm back at work now so I will respond to the list.


Cheers!
