Paras:
It turns out that our automated fix for systems with missing 'ranlib'
did not make it into our 1.1.0 release. So there are two different ways
you can work around this:
1) Download and build the 'stable' version of the runtime instead (I'd
recommend this: there are a lot of other bugfixes in the stable
version)
2) run your ./configure with the environment variable $RANLIB set to
'touch', i.e.:
RANLIB=touch ./configure ....
Either of these should fix your problem.
Keep us posted if you run into any other issues.
