What happens when you try to connect with a browser?

If you are using the vncserver script, then it should do this
automatically.  What it does behind the scenes is run Xvnc with the
"-httpd /location/of/vnc/classes" option.  Is there anything in your
~/.vnc/hostname:1.log?

This is probably because vncviewer.class is not in your CLASSPATH.  Have
you tried switching to the VNC class directory before running the java
command?
