vnc-server-3.3.3r2-28.2: "connection refused" or "end of stream"

[Calvin Webster]

Hello Wez,

Thanks. The source seemed to build okay (without errors) but it didn't
produce an Xvnc executable.

When I run vncinstall I get:

"Couldn't find xc/programs/Xserver/Xvnc"

Neither did it build or install the vnc module for
/usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions

I saved all the messages from the configure, make, and vncinstall to a
log but couldn't find any errors. It looks like it just skipped over the
"xc" directory altogether.

Any ideas?
