On My Redhat 7.3 I had to create the tun device file.
Run the command ./MAKEDEV net/tun from the /dev directory. You have to 
su to root (or logon as root). I don't know if MAKEDEV is Redhat 
specific, but if you don't have it you should probably use the mknod 
command.
Before you run ./simhost you must also have root privileges and the tun 
driver must be loaded in the kernel (insmod tun).
