The relevant variable is (I believe) misspelt as RLIMIT_OFILE in one of the
standard header files (I can't remember which of the top of my head) and a quick
fix is to
#define RLIMIT_NOFILE RLIMIT_OFILE
in the appropriate olvwm file.

A quick way to find the appropriate header file if you want to repair that is
to grep for RLIMIT_OFILE in the various include directories.
