How much RAM and swap space does your computer have? "Unable to load
interpreter" can mean that your computer is out of virtual memory.
If your computer is giving these messages again, try to run the 'free'
command and see how much free memory you have. 'ps uax' can give you
useful information if you think one particular program is using an
excessive amount of memory.
