Then I don't know what the problem.

The problem is clearly not that your OS is too old.  Perhaps the problem
is that the OS is too new then, or perhaps that you are using suse and
the ski binary was compiled under Red Hat Linux.  The nue release you
are using is 3 years old, a lot of things have changed since then.

I haven't used ski in a long time, and there are probably not many other
people still using it, so you may have trouble finding more useful help.

You might try running ldd on the ski binary to see what libraries it has
been linked against, and to check if those libraries are present on your
system.

You need compatible bfds in the generator (as/ld) and the reader (ski). 
Since ski is only available as a binary, and a fairly old one, that
implies that you will have to use an old gcc and binutils releases to be
compatible with it.  Using an old as isn't enough, you need both an old
as and ld.

However, this is all speculation.  You may have to spend some time
investigating these problems yourself.
