ar seems to live in /usr/ccs/bin on most Sun systems I've used so try
adding that to the end of your path.  If you're on a Solaris system,
you're probably running the csh shell so try:

set path = ($path /usr/ccs/bin)

and then try running make again.

Don't add /usr/ccs/bin to the front of your path or you'll get Sun's
make since it also lives in /usr/ccs/bin. Sun's make isn't as good as
GNU's make (which I assume must be installed somewhere else on your
system).

HTH,
