I think this is most likely the problem too...  I downloaded NASM as well 
-- it is available at sunsite.unc.edu under 
   pub/Linux/devel/lang/asm/nasm-0.90.tar.gz

I really like NASM!  It is similar to MASM, and uses Intel syntax instead 
of AT&T syntax, like GAS does...  Also, NASM is portable across different 
operating environments (win32, DOS, Linux, etc...).
