[ASIDE: What's with all the "=0A="s in the above?]

The above error indicates that the configure script couldn't find the
"nm" utility.  On your system, this utility should be located in the
"/usr/xpg4/bin" or "/usr/ccs/bin" directory.  Find the utility and add
the parent directory to your PATH environment variable.

When you've done that, then execute steps 2 through 9 near the end of
the INSTALL file.

Please let me know if this helps.
