Hiya, you need to include the header file (stdarg.h) that contains the 
va_list definition (the error message was telling you that va_list is not 
defined for CustomProbeMap.m)

So to correct the error in the code, edit 
$SWARMHOME/src/objectbase/CustomProbeMap.m 
and add the following line near the top (I chose line 11)

        #include <stdarg.h>

Note that this problem has nothing to do with Red Hat 5.X.

Good luck,
