Your system doesn't appear to have getrusage.

You should either:

1. work around the problem by just commenting out the code that uses it
	(it's not a critical part of ns)

2. try the current snapshot which has new autoconf code which should
	autodetect if your system has getrusage or not

1 is probably easier for you, 2 is of somewhat more service to the ns
community (and for you, in the long run)... we'd like to make sure
future versions work fine on systems without getrusage.
