Instead of that, how about trying the sequence of commands below?

You probably have some of the packages already installed, such as
openssl and readline.  Just making sure.

build_nmh will prompt you for an installation directory.  It will
default to your current installation directory, which you don't want
to overwrite (and can't if it's /usr).  Enter whatever you'd like,
and add its bin to your PATH.

Ignore a warning about "SASL and TLS detection not supported".  They'll
default to no, but building with them can't hurt.
