For a start, best to remove your installed version and install the one that 
comes with SuSE. Once you get that running (consult the documentation that comes 
with SuSE!) you can considder an update.

Basic update is replacing the binaries `Xvnc` and `vncviewer`. Optionally 
replacing all other scripts and such.

The SuSE vnc setup (well, my experience is from SuSE 8.x) is that it does a 
setup similar to http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp .
