I thought that this was a statically linked binary, and that it should
work on just about any Solaris system.  Apparently that's not true.

I can't build another binary because I no longer have convenient
access to a system running Solaris where I can compile Octave.

If someone will make a new binary distribution (with a statically
linked octave binary!) I'll put it on the ftp site.

Thanks,
