Please post:
1) Operating System and Version.
2) Which Shell you are using.
3) The contents of the file /etc/resolv.conf. A Name Server Lookup can only work if your system has access to a Name Server. To look up Internet Addresses, this needs to be an Internet Name Server which is visible from your local network. The SERVFAIL message implies that you do not have a valid DNS (Domain Name Server) or that the DNS server has failed.
4) The actual contents of your script, what you typed to invoke the script verbatim, and any output.
5) The name of the script. The error message impiles that your script is called nslookup which is the name of a system command called by the host command. Change the name of your script!
6) Hmm, the error message refers to line 6 and your script as posted does not have 6 lines. Let's see what you actually executed.

xsil2graphics
XSIL2GRAPHICS(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation XSIL2GRAPHICS(1)
NAME
xsil2graphics - generate scripts to load xsil output data files
SYNOPSIS
xsil2graphics [options] <xsil_file>
DESCRIPTION
Utility program bundled with xmds, used to generate scripts that load simulation output data into either matlab (http://www.mathworks.com)
or scilab (http://www.scilab.org), which are then used to manipulate the results further if necessary and then to present the results
graphically.
Matlab
To generate a matlab m-file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:
bash$ xsil2graphics data_file.xsil
or
bash$ xsil2graphics --matlab data_file.xsil
Then at the matlab command prompt:
>> data_file
Scilab
To generate a scilab script file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:
bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab data_file.xsil
Then at the scilab command prompt:
--> exec('data_file.sci')
OPTIONS
-m, --matlab generate matlab m-file script to load data from the xsil data file (the default option)
-s, -scilab generate scilab script file to load data from the xsil data file
-o, --outfile <out_file> specify an alternative output script filename to the default which is the input xsil filename with the .xsil
extension changed to either .m for the matlab m-file or .sci for the scilab script file
EXAMPLES
bash$ xsil2graphics nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse.m to load the data into matlab
bash$ xsil2graphics -m nlse.xsil
Also generates the output nlse.m but explicitly sets matlab to be the output format
bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse.sci to load the data into scilab
bash$ xsil2graphics --outfile nlse_new.m nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse_new.m to load the data into matlab
