Installed vnc but there's only vncviewer and no vncserver

Hello

Just installed vnc using
# cd /usr/ports/net/vnc & make install clean

and after # rehash, the vncviewer is working perfectly (eg I managed to connect to my MAC OS X using it)

But... Strangely there's no vncserver (so I cannot make my FreeBSD a vnc server) I couldn't find or install vncserver. Where to find it and how to install it? (through ports, using pkg_add or using the Unix tarballs)

Thanks!
 
Hi,

Code: 
# cd /usr/ports/net/vnc ; make config
[x] SERVER  Install VNC server components
# make install

Also you can install tightvnc.
 
Thank you for the helpful suggestions.

I've reinstalled vnc by make config and selecting the server component and it installed itself successfully

But later, I came across a problem. Here is the log:

Code: 
IBM# cat /root/.vnc/IBM.HOME.COM:3.log

I should say that a similar problem has happened also in Linux (Ubuntu 9.04) with the vncserver. It seems, the default installation of vncserver needs some retouching.
 
Check that the file /usr/local/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy exists

Tty this:

Code: 
ln -s /usr/local/lib/xserver /usr/local/lib/X11/xserver
