VNC terminal fail to start session in server

error message:
"vncserver: couldn't find "xauth" on your PATH"
 
Solution:
1. in terminal, type "whereis xauth"
    "xauth: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth /usr/bin/X11/xauth"
2. in user home folder, type "vi .profile"

3. update $PATH variable in .profile file by adding "/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth" to the end of the PATH variable.
