N/A are for tests that are not run. 
prism.sci.utah.edu/Linux-sgi-ia64-gcc3.2 does not wrap VTK in neither 
Tcl nor python therefore has a very limited subset of test running.

If you have an internet connection from the machine you are having 
problem. I would suggest you submit a dashboard, something like:

$ make Experimental (from your build tree)

Let me know if you decide to do it (specify the name of the machine)
