This used to work just fine with SuSE 8.1 on the same computer, accessing the same server, with the same command.
I found this message on the rdesktop list: From: Matt Chapman <matthewc@cs...> Re: Error under suse 8.2 2003-06-10 19:55 Someone else had this problem, if I recall correctly it's a gcc 3.3 optimisation bug. Use a different version of gcc or reduce the optimisation level (-O2 -> -O or nothing in Makeconf), and complain to SuSE that they're shipping an unstable compiler. Matt So, the exact steps to get it working are these: rpm --install rdesktop-1.2.0-36.src.rpm cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCES tar -xzf rdesktop-1.2.0.tar.gz cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/rdesktop-1.2.0 $EDITOR configure Change -O2 to -O on this line: cflags="$cflags -Wall -O2" cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/ tar -czf rdesktop-1.2.0.tar.gz rdesktop-1.2.0 cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS/ rpm -ba rdesktop.spec rpm -i --force /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/rdesktop-1.2.0-36.i386.rpm
