That's a really strange error.  I just downloaded and compiled 0.3.1 
here with no problem, so it may be something to do with the version of 
gnutls you are using.

Can you send me the complete output of ./configure and make please.

If you're on x86-64 then the binary 
(http://www.annexia.org/tmp/virt-top/virt-top-0.3.1.2-1.fc8.x86_64.rpm) 
should just work for you.  If you're on another arch, or if it doesn't 
work, then I can install RHEL 4 ES here and guide you through the build 
process - I've only tried it on RHEL 5 / F7 myself.

Rich.
