trouble getting started: getting error 127 out of bounds on check_http

[Aleksey Tsalolikhin]

I have more date:  strace shows the following:

32076 execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "/check_http -H 70.86.102.98"],
[/* 25 vars */]) = 0

32076 execve("/check_http", ["/check_http", "-H", "70.86.102.98"], [/*
25 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

32076 stat64("/check_http", 0xbfffba40) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
32076 stat64("/check_http", 0xbfffb8a0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

32076 write(2, "sh: line 1: /check_http: No such"..., 51) = 51

so looks like the path isn't getting passed along.  Please advise.
