That is unexpected since the configure script tests 
the yasm version, you should therefore get only one 
error: Please provide your configure line and 
the first error (and the versions you are testing).

That also sounds unexpected:
yasm is a static executable (that you can put into 
/usr/local/bin and) that imo simply cannot interfere 
with any other package.
