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. -- D'Arcy J.M.
