I have the same problem with postscript, and wonder if something went
wrong in getting the files from Plan 9 to make a 9vx tree. I ran a
single Plan 9 instance in Qemu for a few years; no trouble with
postscript then. I copied the tree out from the live running system
using tar and dial[*] on the plan 9 side; tar and netcat on the unix,
and used that tree with no further modification as a root for 9vx.
Postscript now fails with the error Pietro gave.

[*] dial as in p9p / inferno's dial command. I renamed the binary to
dialout to avoid conflict with /bin/dial/
