Hi,
 
I am getting an error while running gmake on postgres8.2.4. Here is the list of steps that I followed
 
Platform is Solaris 10 for x86
1. Downloaded  postgresql-8.2.4.tar from ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v8.2.4/postgresql-8.2.4.tar.gz
2. gunzip postgresql-8.2.4.tar.gz
3. tar -xvf postgresql-8.2.4.tar
4. cd postgresql-8.2.4
5. executed configure first, it was giving readline error therefore used configure --without-readline
6. The error that I am getting is
 
bash-3.00$ gmake
gmake -C doc all
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/export/home/Jenny/postgresql-8.2.4/doc'
gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/Jenny/postgresql-8.2.4/doc'
gmake -C src all

Either install ar or if it is installed, add it to your $PATH.

A look at the Solaris machines in the build farm suggests that ar
is likely to be found in /usr/ccs/bin or maybe /usr/sfw/bin
on that platform.
