Trouble with TeX3.0 and ranlib.

[Ron Srodawa]

I have been trying to install TeX3.0 into Xenix '386 2.3.2.  Finally,
I got a good compile through and through (gcc) with the exception of
the mf subdirectory (MetaFont).  Finally, I resolved my problem by
removing mf from alldirs, causing its generation to be ignored.
---
The problem was with TeX3.0/mf/MFwindows/windows.a (if memory serves me
correctly).  Using the xenix ranlib, ld claims this isn't a valid archive.
Using the ranlib distributed by Steve and Ron at RoboBar, the ranlib dumps
core.

Any suggestions, anyone?

BTW, I don't really need MetaFont because we can download all the fonts we
desire from a big bertha.  It would be nice to be self-sufficient, though.
Ron.
