Good.  So we are now sure that it really is a PPC version of Linux.

which has been compiled with gcc 3.2.3.

Okay.  So you do want to to run the VNC Viewer on the Dreambox.

Given the other commands have worked, that is probably the right way to start 
it.

You still have not given *any* indication of which versions of VNC you are 
attempting to run.  Debian has support for many architectures, and has many 
versions of vnc available.

Anyway.  Other useful info at this point would be:

The output of:
echo $SHELL
ls -l vncviewer
file vncviewer

With luck the Dreambox will have the 'file' command.  If not, the last command 
will complain and not provide anything useful.

An indication of how much you know about Linux might help, since it makes it 
easier to judge what kind of info to put into replies.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
