What's Wrong?

I'm trying to install claude code in an HPC environment (linux arm since we use GH200s). The standard install script correctly downloads the binary (I've added additional echo's for debugging), however the claude-2.1.74-linux-arm64 binary fails to run. I don't have any other versions of claude installed. I also tested the deprecated npm install and that one works.
