[Nagiosplug-help] Compiling plugins on Solaris 8 - 'make all' fails

[Stephen P. Jackson]

Monte,

Looking through your make results, I saw this:

You should be using /usr/ccs/bin/ar, or the gnu version of ar, which normally 
installs in /usr/local/bin. Make sure one of those is in your path before 
/usr/openwin/lib/locale, and you should be fine.
