This may take a while................../usr/bin/nm didn't seem to work right. 
Trying /usr/bin/ar instead...
ar: /usr/lib/libc.dylib is a fat file (use libtool(1) or lipo(1) and ar(1) on 
it)
ar: /usr/lib/libc.dylib: Inappropriate file type or format
/usr/bin/ar didn't seem to work right.
Maybe this is a Cray...trying bld instead...
./Configure: line 7779: bld: command not found
That didn't work either.  Giving up.
