The big problem with bluehost is that their servers run 64bit Linux, but the 32bit compatibility libraries are not installed. I faced this problem, when trying to install my CMS which is written in 32bit assembly language. (Now it runs OK: http://fresh.flatassembler.net ) Anyway, you probably need to compile fossil for 64bit or at least statically linked - I am not sure how, because I don't know C/C++, but fossil ELF executable must not use any shared libraries.
Of course you need to set properly .htaccess files as well in order to properly execute cgi scripts.
