ranlib is the tool to make a compiled objet a library, if you don't have,
you need get it to make a proper compilation.
A long time ago, we have the same problem (in the UAA) so, the solution
is:

a) search in the software repositories for Solaris 2.x for the ranlib
command.

b) tell me if you want to send to you the ranlib we have. (via mail).
