Subject: Slate 0.1 binaries. I can't get it to work!

I installed the appropriate binary and just get the message:  
 
bash-2.05b$ cd /slate 
bash-2.05b$ ./slate 
Illegal instruction 
 
No doubt it's me doing something very silly/obvious. I am on a mostly 
Debian/testing distro, but got the same results on a fully current 
Debian/unstable system on my play partition. 
 
I tried it in an X-console and on a raw console. I tried the other 
version and it complained about my glibc6 version (as it should have). 
I was unable to get ECL going either, though I didn't try very hard 
here. GCL borked on loading in the interpreter too. I'm out of ideas 
:-( 
 
I assume there is some unmet dependency, though ldd reports everything 
is linked to something appropriate. 
 
Any tips? I just want to get in for a little play and to get some 
hands-on with the language. 
 
Regards, 
Glenn
