Hi Im installing SNORT 2.4.0 on Solaris 10, ive been following the SNORT-ACID install on Solaris 9 walkthru and have come up against a few problems,
Ive been able to install the Mysql side of things but now when i try to install SNORT , i issue the ./configure with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql host=sparc-sun-solaris2.10 all seems to go well until i issue the make command...then i receive the error:

ar cru libsfutil.a sfghash.o sfhashfcn.o sflsq.o sfmemcap.o sfthd.o sfxhash.o ipobj.o mwm.o sfksearch.o acsmx.o acsmx2.o mpse.o util_math.o util_net.o util_str.o asn1.o sfeventq.o sfsnprintfappend.o
make[3]: ar: Command not found
make[3]: *** [libsfutil.a] Error 127
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/snort-2.4.0/src/sfutil'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/snort-2.4.0'

has anyone successfully installed SNORT on Solaris 10 ?? if so how do you get around this error??

Any any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
