Yes; in fact here's a tall screen grab of the tail end of the make install:

ranlib /usr/local/lib/libamanda.a

*** Error code 127

The program ranlib makes an index of the archive to speed up the
linking.  In modern compilers that is already done by the program
while creating the archive.  So it does not exist anymore.

I remember from a long time ago (> 8 years?) that on some platforms
for compiling open source I had to make a command "randlib" that
effectivily did:
    ar -s
or, if that would not work, simply:
    /bin/true


*But* how did you get there?  The "./Configure" program should have
already found out about that.
Did you do a "make distclean" andrun "./Configure" again, after you
changed your path?  If not, you probably are still running with
the (cached) configure results from the wrong compiler.
