Hello,

My name is wycliff,
I am new to curl and I need some help on how to install and configure curl
with cygwin.

I downloaded curl-7.19.5, and on trying to configure it from cygwin, I get
some error;
see details below;

wycliff_at_neptune002 /cygdrive/c/curl-7.19.5
$ sh configure
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking whether to enable debug build options... no
checking whether to enable compiler optimizer... not specified (assuming
yes)
checking whether to enable strict compiler warnings... no
checking for sed... /usr/bin/sed
checking for grep... /usr/bin/grep
checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E
checking for ar... no
configure: error: ar not found in PATH. Cannot continue without ar.

wycliff_at_neptune002 /cygdrive/c/curl-7.19.5
what could be the problem?

thanks&regards,
