Network problems with make
I have installed gcc 295.3 and make 3.79.1 and I am attempting to compile the apache installation. I can run ./configure and no errors occur. However, when I try to run make it complains that it is unable to find the ar command. Here is the output after entering make. Any help is appreciated.

# make

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/kgrady/apache/apache_1.3.24'

The problem is not with make.
The problem is that make cannot find the "ar" command
to create the library archive "libos.a"

You need to verify that you do infact have this command
executable installed and next, where it is installed and make
sure you can get to it from your PATH.

That did
I needed to add /usr/ccs/bin to my path. Worked like a charm. Thanks
