Read the comments in tcp.h near the offending error.  You just need to add 
an appropriate clause for whatever your favourite HZ value is.  I had to do 
this for tbox too; HZ is fixed to 1000 there by the hardware and I couldn't 
change it even if I wanted to.

Incidentally, HZ=64 is probably a bit on the low side.  I'd set it to 128 or 
maybe even higher - the overhead from timer interrupts is really not as bad as 
you might think.
