Perfect !!! We owe you a $UNIT of your favorite $BEVERAGE!

I went through Tor's build from the link you gave yesterday with the
assumptions that configure would not find anything. Once I defined
awk,sed,ar,ld,xlc and few other bits and pieces it worked !

Since I'm sure it's our environment that's up the creek I'm sure it
isn't a big deal for most users.

Thanks for the assistance. Now I start developing so we may speak again
soon 8-)

Thanks again !!

Regards,

Justin Webb

Yes. This line is bad. I'm pretty sure that line should use the 'ar'
command,
which configure checks for and since you got a 'false' there I suspect
that
configure didn't find the 'ar' command and that the configure script is
slightly crippled and doesn't take proper notice. Do you have a working
'ar'
in your $PATH? You can manually edit the lib/Makefile (after configure
has
run) and modify the "AR = " line to fix, in case you can't convince
configure
that you do.

I'll make a fix for configure for the upcoming release to better alert
the
user when this situation occurs.
