/bin/sh: Syntax error: Bad substitution
Translation: "This program only works on Linux."
That variable substitution is not supported by /bin/sh on any system
where /bin/sh is not bash, which is to say any system that is not
Linux. (And possibly even not on some Linuxes; I think I've heard at
least one distribution has tried to break the bash dependency, but
I'm sure they'll go back soon because of all the people complaining
about how "broken" it is.)
