Have a look in the function pvm_vpackf. I suppose there is something
like this:

va_arg(xyz,int) and in your case I suppose the int isn't int, it's
something else?!

e.g. when you have this va_arg(xyz,char), this would give the error
described above. You can only get the function as wanted when you do
(char)va_arg(xyz,int).

For further details search the dev-list.
