There is ready to use tightvnc available at tightvnc.com but I could not find a vncviewer for X86Solaris ready to use so tried compilation. Here are the steps.

Download the source code for realvnc viewer from www.realvnc.com. Do the usual stuff, untar etc.
bash-3.00# pwd
/harshit/vnc/vnc-4_1-javasrc/java

Make the following changes in the makefile to compile on Sun make (if you dont have gnu make and jikes)
bash-3.00# cat makefile
# Makefile for building java vncviewer using jikes and GNU make. This makefile
# probably won't work for you!
#

#JAVAC = jikes -classpath .:$$CLASSPATH
JAVAC = javac -classpath .:$$CLASSPATH
JAR = jar
INSTALL_DIR = ../unix/java
#SRCS = $(shell find . -name '*.java' -print 2>/dev/null)
SRCS:sh = find . -name '*.java' -print 2>/dev/null

Now try /usr/ccs/bin/make all.

This will compile the code.

Now try running it by setting the classpath to vncviewer.jar file

java -cp ./vncviewer.jar vncviewer/VNCViewer
