How do you install nasm on a linux system?

Hi:

Code:

[root@revenge sys-freedos]# ./sys-freedos.pl --disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 --lba --heads=255 --sectors=63
DOS boot sector for /dev/mmcblk0p2 will be created by:
	nasm -o /dev/stdout   ./bootsecs/boot32lb.asm
Can't exec "nasm": No such file or directory at ./sys-freedos.pl line 114.
cannot fork at ./sys-freedos.pl line 114.
[root@revenge sys-freedos]#

Either I download the source code and compile, but in this case how does the program find nasm? Or I install from my distro repository, which is Arch. I was used to find almost any program I needed in Slackbuilds. I assume there are programs that look for a program in the web, download it and install it. Do you know of a simpler option?

EDIT: I think knowing the name of the Arch package containing nasm would be of great help, isn't it?

"nasm" should be installed by default on a full slackware installation, it's part of the "d/" package set.
