This is the second time I have tried to install a software package where the make file wanted to call 'ar'. I have no 'ar'. Well I found it on my Solaris 8 for Intel box but not only is it missing from my TurboLinux 6.0 box but I can't find an RPM on by distrib disks for the darn thing. I did find I had to install both gcc and make to get as far as I have. Currently I'm trying to install an Oracle 8i database on my linux server and make is not completing successfully because I'm missing this ar executable.

What do you "make" of this??? (sorry i couldn't let that one go)

ar is contained in the binutils rpm.

Hope this helps
