[mrtg] Re: zlib

[Jack Barnett]

When I tried installing it on Solaris 7, I got the same error.  It is
looking for the program named 'ar' in the wrong place.  ar on a default
install of Solaris 7 is under '/usr/ccs/bin/ar'.  What I did to reslove this
problem was to make a sys link from /usr/ccs/bin/ar to /bin/ar like so:

ln -s /usr/ccs/bin/ar /bin/ar

(as root).  Or you could edit the Makefile to point to the /real/ ar.
Either way should work.

You can also download zlib pre compiled from Sun's freeware site.  I forget
the address, but it is something like sunfreeware.sun.com or
sunfreeware.com.  I know http://www.solarisguide.com has a link to it
somewhere on the page, if those 2 addresses aren't correct.
