Hmm, I tried this, same problem.

Here's the link line and the error line:

To be honest, I don't really know what kind of answer to give to 'what kind
of system are you on'.

uname -a  gives:
SunOS vax 5.6 sun4u sparc

To my mostly-end-user sentiment, it's "just UNIX", but obviously that isn't
a good answer.
