Summary: build succeeds but vncserver fails
Initial Comment:
I'm running fedora 17 in a vm player. I've gotten everything to build and all
of the executables have been created but when running vncserver I get the
following.
WARNING: The first attempt to start Xvnc failed, possibly because the font
catalog is not properly configured. Attempting to determine an appropriate
font path for this system and restart Xvnc using this path ...
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token '('
sh: -c: line 0: ./Xvnc :1 -desktop '(none):1 (h)' -auth
/var/run/gdm/auth-for-h--gRYqCh/database -geometry 1024x768 -rfbwait 30000
-rfbauth /home/h/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -pn >> '/home/h/.vnc/(none):1.log'
2>&1 -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/share/X11/fonts/default/Type1 & echo $!
>/home/h/.vnc/(none):1.pid'
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near token '('
sh: -c: line 0: 'cat /home/h/.vnc/(none):1.pid'
Could not start Xvnc.
I typed that in so there may me an error because i couldn't figure out how to
copy and paste from a terminal.
I'm not sure if it's the font path or not. I installed the X11-misc package. I
tried adding /misc to the font path in the vncserver script with no success.
Everything built just fine but this is what happens when executing vncserver.
Can't find the syntax error either.

Message:
I think I figured it out. When building a virtual machine with fedora you
have the option for a quick install in which VM Player does things
automatically for you. Like selecting english for language, etc... It
does not however assign a computer name to fedora which is where the (none)
above is coming from. I built another vm with fedora and did not do the
quick install, gave it a real computer name, and it built and ran fine.
Not sure if that's the only reason it didn't work but this seems to have
fixed my problem.
Thanks
