Default Hit a snag with slirp tethering

Hi All,
I am trying to set up slirp tethering as outlined here:
Better iPhone Tethering

Everything was going well until the very end when I try to launch slirp from Mobile Terminal, it just says "Killed." I'm not very Terminal-savvy, so I don't really know where to begin troubleshooting. I've redone the commands in Terminal on the Mac to install slirp and give it execute permissions, and they seem to work properly, but I still just get "killed" when trying to run slirp.

Can anybody help me out? I have successfully tethered using the SOCKS method, but I really need all my apps to have net access, not just the browser, so I desperately want to get the slirp method to work.

P.S. I have a 3G

One more thing I discovered: when I try to give slirp execute permissions while ssh'ed from my Mac, it says nothing after the command (chmod +x /usr/bin/slirp). When I enter the same command in Mobile Terminal it says "operation not permitted." Is that normal when trying to do it from the phone, or is this a sign of an incompatibility with 2.0?
