private static variable not running

I have the following codes,

<?
private static $instance;
?>

which fails at he private static line with the following error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION
or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}'

The above was run on linux with PHP 5.1, however the above codes run
fine on windows with the same PHP version. Any help please? I really
need to get my singleton running.
