You don't need to compile it. The newest BINARY runs under 2.4 OK  
(just need to make sure that all the dependencies are loaded as they  
are NOT picked up from the binary itself).

An old version of GTK-2.0

An old version of pango (and cairo)

Still works OK.

I'm just trying to sort out which libs are not picked up at buildtime  
that need to be (If I build with most things included vmware-view runs  
nicely, with just vmware-view, it runs, but bad fonts/graphics). Will  
then release as a package for 2.4.

On the 2.2 front, all of the libraries are so old, I'm not sure if we  
can get them up to the level to support the vmware-view client.
