Version: 2.6.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 OS: Linux ark 2.6.2 can't find the ar tool while opening ar files. the call to 'newArch->unarchUtilityIsAvailable()' in arkwidget.cpp returns false even if the ar tool is installed in a directory listed the system PATH: [davide@buddha ~]$ which ar /usr/bin/ar [davide@buddha ~]$ echo $PATH /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games After some tests I've found that the boolean variable 'm_bUnarchUtilityIsAvailable' is never set because the 'Arch::verifyUncompressUtilityIsAvailable' function (arch.cpp) is not called ('Arch::verifyCompressUtilityIsAvailable' is called instead). And in the file ar.cpp only the variable 'm_unarchiver_program' is not set, but perhaps this is not a bug.
