* Why does the OpenSSL compilation fail with "ar: command not found"?
Getting this message is quite usual on Solaris 2, because Sun has hidden
away 'ar' and other development commands in directories that aren't in
$PATH by default. One of those directories is '/usr/ccs/bin'. The
quickest way to fix this is to do the following (it assumes you use sh
or any sh-compatible shell):
----- snip:start -----
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/ccs/bin; export PATH
----- snip:end -----
and then redo the compilation. What you should really do is make sure
'/usr/ccs/bin' is permanently in your $PATH, for example through your
'.profile' (again, assuming you use a sh-compatible shell).
