Perhaps you need to download and install 2.90.HC4R1 Regarding the error line seen: ar: lib/netstub.a not in archive format the 'ar' command on UNIX/Linux is used to create static libraries, which have .a extension. In the case above, the 'ar' command states that the ar(chive) lib/netstub.a is not a valid archive file, indicating that perhaps the archive is corrupt or not properly created. A quick way to test that is to print the list of members of the archive. ar tv lib/netstub.a You need to locate the netstub.a file and then run the above command. Let me know how it goes. thanks Saifi.
