The only reason that I can think of is that "import solids;" is calling an external program and there are some settings in your texmfcnf file that is restricting that program to run.
I don't know much about asymptote but as I just tried to debug an error message in miktex: Imho the "solids" library calls the three library which tries to use the OpenGL-renderer.
In miktex this fails (https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/26) and the "solution" is to set the output format to pdf:

Perhaps the problem here is due to a similar issue.
If this has something to do with OpenGL, a properly built asymptote might solve the problem. Which OS and which distribution are you using? Mojca
