I followed the following steps to start tightvncserver on Debian Wheezy.
1. Ran the following command as root: aptitude update; aptitude install tightvncserver
2. Logged into my GNOME desktop as non root user.
3. Opened mrxvt. Executed the following command in bash prompt: tightvncserver
I got this output.
