Well, line 1 of the vncserver startup script says #!/usr/bin/perl, so I would 
guess that perl is not installed.  'urpmi perl'

Also, you have a choice to run vncserver as a service, or as a user.

Run it as a service, so it automatically starts on reboot and is always 
available, by editing /etc/sysconfig/vncserver and then doing 'service vnc 
start'

The other option is to just run it as user and this is nice if you don't want 
it running all the time by just typing vncserver as a user.

It will use the default desktop or the desktop specified in ~/.desktop, which 
is what I do because I run flux in my vnc sessions, but KDE as a local user.
