newbie needs help with install

by rcoolman . Updated 23 years, 1 month ago

I am trying to install TridiaVNC on my Red Hat 8 box. I got instructions and downloaded from TVNC. After using tar to unzip their download, their instructions were to type sh ./tvncinst.bin to start the installer. I get this error (below) and do not understand. I have been running the command as root and from the folder that the .bin file is located in. I have re-downloaded the file several times. I do not understand using binary mode. The download is from a web page and that seems to bethe only way Tridia let’s you do it.
Can anyone help me with this?

# sh ./tvncinst.bin
