When I tried to install a package, I ran into the following problem. ``ar'' does not seem to be working. The original command from make was
ar cru .libs/liba2ps.a encoding.o media.o jobs.o output.o routines.o psgen.o prlog.o faces.o confg.o useropt.o gen.o printers.o psstat.o caret.o metaseq.o opt ons.o dsc.o fonts.o ppd.o prange.o stream.o document.o fjobs.o common.o madir.o lexppd.o parseppd.o xmalloc.o xgetcwd.o getopt.o getopt1.o xgethostname.o hashtb.o isdir.o pathconcat.o backupfile.o argmatch.o addext.o basename.o message.o strrpl.o getshline.o pathwalk.o darray.o dstring.o printlen.o pair_ht.o filtdir.o str_ht.o title.o xbackupfile.o getnum.o stpcpy.o stpncpy.o obstack.o error.onmatch.o ar: .libs/liba2ps.a: rename: Permission denied I reduced it to the following and strongly believe it is a problem of ``ar''. zhengx@WNDIRD320 /cygdrive/o/software/a2ps-4.10.4/lib $ ar -cr liba2ps.a media.o ar: liba2ps.a: rename: Permission denied Here is the version information, $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-4.0 WNDIRD320 1.3.6(0.47/3/2) 2001-12-08 17:02 i686 unknown $ ar --version GNU ar 2.11.92 20011001 $ make --version GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath. $ gcc --version 2.95.3-5 Thank you for your response.
