Wild guess: you've just installed vnc on a unix box and cannot get any further... I think at your machine you don't have an application called `twm`. This is a windowmanager that is started from your ~/.vnc/xstartup script. Try to find which windowmanager you have available on your system. For linux distributinons, they include fvwm, gnome and kde. On commercial unixes like Solaris or HP-UX, You should have CDE (a.k.a. dtwm). Then edit the ~/.vnc/xstartup script to start your window manager. An other idea is to use the xdmcp protocol (as used on the console). See http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp for details. This skips the vnc-login, it uses the unix login as on the console.
