I think the following could solve the problem:

 - After you copy the VNC executables to a directory 
   (say,/usr/local/bin) which is in your path, shell does not
   pick it up automatically. If you are using csh or tcsh,
   run the command
       rehash
   and type 
       which vncviewer
   to see if you can locate it. Another way is to re-source
   your .cshrc file.

 - Change the path of perl in vncserver to what you have on
   your system. To find out where is your perl interpreter,
   run
       which perl

Hope that helps.
