CiscoVPN alternative

Saturday, May 26th, 2007 | Mac, OSX, cisco, freeware, vpn | 2 Comments

I was looking for an alternative client for macOS because I hate the windows style of ciscoVPN client for mac,

And I found this. http://www.nexumoja.org/projects/Shimo/

Shimo is the best choice for mac for the following reasons;

• More stable and well integrated than cisco vpn client
• Nice statistics screen
• Keychain integration
• Connect on login
• Can be easily integrate with growl for notifications
• If you’ve installed cisco VPN before it will import your previous settings.

I think that you all will enjoy it

Special tips building and debugging GWT based UI on Fedora Core 6

When launching Google web toolkit you get this error, org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError?: mozilla-1.7.12/libxpcom.so: Can’t load IA 32-bit .so on a IA 32-bit platform)

FC6 has libstdc++.so.6.0.8 out of the box. Many times yum is smart enough to get the “compat” version of a lib when a newer one is installed, so I rolled the dice and tried:

yum install libstdc++.so.5

When launching the Eclipse debugger you get this error,
ERROR: transport error 202: gethostbyname: unknown host “transport.c”,L41?
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510) “debugInit.c”,L500?

To correct the problem, just add the following line to /etc/hosts :

127.0.0.1 localhost

Probably it will be useful for you, as was for me.
