I was running Apple's X11 that comes installed with 10.5, and it  
didn't give man any output from the nm command you sent.  I decided to  
install xfree86, and now things seem to be working.  It seems that my  
installation of X11 lacked the requisite objects in several  
libraries... I tried to figure out why that might be but ultimately  
decided to just fix it with a different distribution.

Thanks for all of your help!
