That means just what it says.  Xvnc is not in your path.  Just copy the
files (vncserver, vncviewer, and Xvnc) to a directory in your path
(/usr/local/bin or /usr/bin would be logical).

Also, there are many, many reasons you do not want to do this as
root.  You should only do certain administrative functions (like
installing programs, adding users) as root, and everything else (running
programs) as a normal user.
