I suspect you don't have the "devpts" pseudo-filesystem mounted. Try adding
something like
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
to /etc/fstab.
On Debian, libc6's /etc/init.d/devpts.sh takes care of mounting the devpts
pseudo-filesystem.

I'd be interested to hear from him. There are so many pseudos around taking
his name in vain.
