Hi Todd,
When you mentioned vic & rat don't start for you with the VenueClient on F14, do they come up if you go to the APAG lobby? i.e. :
https://vv3.ap-accessgrid.org:8000/Venues/default
On a F14 virtual machine, vic/rat don't startup when I go to the ANL lobby, but work fine with APAG lobby.
As for testing an older source version of rat (<= svn release 4393) like Chris suggests, download rat-4.4.01-0.1.20080731svn.fc8.src.rpm from:
http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/ag3/fedora/8/SRPMS/
then rebuild with the following:
rpmbuild --rebuild rat-4.4.01-0.1.20080731svn.fc8.src.rpm
once built, install by first removing the currently installed version of rat, e.g.:
rpm -e --nodeps rat
rpm -i rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/rat-4.4.01-0.1.20080731svn.fc14.x86_64.rpm
Cheers,
Doug
