Hi, Got into the similar situation with Solaris and the error went away when I removed the binutils package . The package binutils installs ranlib which has become obsalate with SunOS5.X
The utility (ar) will do this automatically. (Make sure you have /usr/ccs/bin in your path though ..) But as I said , in my case the O.S was Solaris and I dont know what to do in case of Rad Hat . This might give you some clue on what the problem is.. Good luck !
