Description:   Opened: 2003-06-06 13:11 0000 
It's a good security practice to have your /tmp directory set 'noexec' as many
remote exploits on web servers will try to run files there.

vnc tries to make an executable file and run it in /tmp (no, not /var/tmp)
during the installation process.

To easily reproduce this on gentoo, 

mount -o remount,noexec,rw /dev/shm 
symlink /tmp to /dev/shm (or just mount it at /tmp noexec if you haven't
already) and 
emerge vnc

Could you post a log with the buildprocess failing?  My setup doesnt allow for
an 
easy setup for a noexec /tmp.

Copied the fix from tightvnc. Try it now.

Excellent, it works great now.  Thanks!
