However it does not produce /usr/bin/Xvnc, which is required to run a vnc
server.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge tightvnc
2. updatedb
3. locate Xvnc

Actual Results:  
/usr/share/man/man1/Xvnc.1.gz
but no /usr/bin/Xvnc


Expected Results:  
Produce Xnvc in /usr/bin

I'd say not really possible:

cd Xvnc && ./configure || die "Configure failed."

so the summary seems to be incorrect. What does `equery f tightvnc | grep Xvnc`
say? Also, please attach a complete emerge log; run `emerge tightvnc &>
emerge.log` and attach the output.

Thanks. You forgot to reopen.

Emerge log

I get the same issue, with a different fail point.

cougar kovu # equery f tightvnc | grep Xvnc
/usr/share/man/man1/Xvnc.1.gz

Emerge log also attached from my attempt (if it helps).

Is there a known workaround? I, too have encountered this but, and see exactly 
the same problems.

I have found that using the USE flag of "server" helped me get the Xvnc binary  
created and installed. This was true for me for tightvnc and realvnc (aka vnc).
Try  
re-emerging like this  

USE="server" emerge tightvnc  

>USE="server" emerge tightvnc

I have solved my problems otherwise and have not needed vnc anymore, but just
tried and this did not help to create a binary Xvnc.

tightvnc has no USE flag "server" it will not solve the problem.

This bug happens on x86 as well as on amd64 for tightvnc-1.2.9-r1.
The difference is that 1.3_alpha5 (which has sever USEflag) is masked on amd64.

tightvnc-1.3_alpha5-gcc34.patch applied on 1.2.9-r1 solves the compile problem,
however Xvnc segfaults on amd64 (see bug 82583).

tightvnc-1.3_alpha7 works with an additional patch applied, should show in
portage in ~ 2hours, sync and test that

on second thought, porting patches
should see this fix in ~2 hours
