bootstrapping on solaris, missing ar

got this error when bootstrapping on solaris 10:

/bin/bash: ar: command not found
gmake[2]: *** [libsed.a] Error 127

i am new to solaris an only been using it about 3 hours.  i
would
assume i need to install that, but can not figure out how to
get back
to the package selection that i used during the install. 
perhaps
someone that uses solaris can help?  i have the 5 install
cd's but no
idea how to install more packages from it.

thanks

matt

Do you have /usr/sfw/i386-sun-solaris2.10/bin/ar (or
sparc-sun if you're on Sparc)?
If so, make sure it's in your path.

What Sun are you using? (if you are using a Sun at all)

-bash-3.00$ ls -l /usr/sfw/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin/ar
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     bin       491688 Jan 22 2005
/usr/sfw/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin/ar

i had used the path shown on the install page http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/pr
efix/bootstrap-solaris.xml

stupid me didnt read all of it and used the wrong one.  oops
:(   i think i skimmed it since i installed prefix a few
times already on ppc's and was familiar with it.

* sed succesfully bootstrapped
