It looks as if you are trying to compile it yourself. Fink should contain prebuilt packages of LilyPond. I'm not a Mac user myself, and don't know anything about Fink, but 'ar' should belong to the same category of packages as the compilers, linkers, debuggers and so on.

Hi, I'm a non-Unix-user trying to instal Lilypond under MacOS X.
Got along pretty well - got fink going, found how to change the setting about trees, told it to install lilypond-unstable and it did lots of stuff. But it gave up in the end because it can't find 'ar'.
checking for ar... missing_ar configure: error: No ar utility found.
My Unix book says 'ar' is a standard utility. I'm not sure what to do about getting it, preferably in a form that ignoramuses like me can use.
Can you help at all?
Thanks, Thomas Green
