If the message is to be believed, it looks like you have an
installation problem.  Make sure that /usr/bin is on your path.  Then
make sure that /usr/bin/as exists and has appropriate execute
permissions set.  You might create a simple "Hello, world" program (in
C) and attempt to compile it.  The command "cc -v -o hello hello.c"
might yield some interesting and helpful messages.

If you find that you're missing /usr/bin/as, it is likely that you'll
need to (re)install binutils-2.9.5.0.22-6.

Also, please read my other post regarding ssh.  There are ways to solve
your specific problem of supplying a password to ssh besides having the
script send a password to the ssh program.  However, the technique of
using ptys to supply input to a program that expects to read from a
terminal is a useful one to learn, so you should attempt to solve your
installation problem as well.
