Hi Folks,

Tried to compile the KSH on SUN 3/60 machine and hit the following
problem. If you have compiled the KSH successfully on the same type of
machine, please give me a help. Thanks.

==================================================================

setup the LDFLAGS=-Bstatic for OS4.0 and followed the README file,
I ran makeshell file and saw the "ranlib" problem. Any thought ??

I also tried the "ranlib" command and it complained the following:

ar: __.SYMDEF not in archive format
ranlib: ``ar rlb  libsh.a __.SYMDEF
'' failed
