Known problems in older distributions: htop uses features of the C99 standard; therefore it fails to build with old compilers. Consider upgrading, or use this statically built binary (for Linux-x86) instead. Problems were reported in RedHat 7.x and Fedora Core 2 (for FC2, a workaround is to export TERM=xterm-color on your .bashrc).
