Mocha X-Server

After googling a bit I got mocha X server which is entirely free. AND WOW!!!! it is perfect so far !! pretty fast ... simple installation! great .. just download it from http://www.newfreedownloads.com/download-Mocha-X-Server.html and there you go. If you find this link dead! search google for it. IF that also fails put a comment on this blog and I may help you get this binary!

Now another problem. Looks like I need root permission to install QT under Linux ! At least thats what the INSTALL file says. It says ..

To install the library, demos, examples, tools, and tutorials,
type: su -c "make install"
Obviosuly this would need root permission which I dont have. So let me search google to see if I can install QT without being a root!

So I posted this question on QT news group and got a very quick and early response. They told me that I can use ./configure
./configure -prefix $HOME/qt or ./configure --prefix=/home/arvind/qt-libs 

Now when I tried to do that I figured out there is some problem with my office linux server. It is not even compiling a simple .c file. It is fuming with "cc1: No space left on device: error closing /tmp/ccpDlsaM.s" error. Directory name after /tmp is completely random. Meanwhile IT has reinstalled my Cygwin. Looks like I am much closer to have QT run in office environment!
