Can somebody explain to me the errors that i received with ranlib.

When i try to compile somme packages for NetBSD-Amiga  :

    1) file1.o is produced
    2) file2.o is produced
    3) ar rc libsomething.a file1.o file2.o  (seems to work ok)
    4) ranlib libsomething.a produce the foloowing error
      " ranlib:  libsomething.a: Innapropriate file type or format

The same code compiles ok on my sun and on a 486 running FreeBSD.


Thanks
Michel
