Never seen it!  Is that the  exact text of the error?

This sounds like a custom 404 (page not found) page.  Something is awry 
with your installation. Did you get this error when trying to go to 
http://www.yourdomain.com/construct, or 
http://www.yourdomain.com/construct.cgi/construct/ ?  You may want to 
double check the values for DOMAIN_NAME, CGI_URL, etc in 
catalogs/construct/catalog.cfg
