unable to resolve host ...

Hello,

I followed some instructions from another thread to install vnc packages 
so I can use Remote Desktop Viewer and got the following output from 
terminal. The line I'm worried about is - *sudo: unable to resolve host 
ray-desktop*.
Does this mean this install bombed. If not, why can it not resolve my 
local host and is this something I need to worry about?

Later, Ray Parrish

ray at ray-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer xvnc4viewer
