I don't know how well this applies to you but on my SVR3.2 ESIX Rel D I
ran into a problem with ranlib.  I don't have it, or need it but telling
the C News build program that didn't seem to work.  My solution may seem
a little silly but it works and that is the main thing.  I 'touched' a
file called ranlib and made it executable.  Now ranlib with any arguments
does nothing and returns a successful status.  C News compiled fine after
that.
