Thanks for the tip.
I am running nutch on opensolaris and this explains why it bin/nutch is
failing.
I am surprised that nutch source code was modified to depend on linux. I did
not have a problem like this before.

Do you know if this can be modified by the code owner to make it platform
agnostic once more?

Thanks for the help.
