Open hoster.c and you should see "struct  fd_set rfds", change it to
"fd_set rfds" and it should
work right away. However you're likely to get into troublem with some of
the files like
"lpvm.c" ( I think) which complains about conflicts between
/usr/include/time.h and /usr/include/linux/time.h

I hear this is because of incompatibility between RedHat 5.1 and
PVM3.3.11. Try installiing 3.4 it shoudl be a breeze.

Good luck,
