The program ar is not installed on your server. I had the same problem with 
my Solaris 8 intel. You need to install the package called UNWbtool. On my 
Sol8 intel disks it was on Software 2/2. I am still working on my system 
(more problems still) but at least I got past the "ar is not present" 
thing. Hope this helps
