Could you please explain me in detail.

And also what should we need to do in order to overcome it.

It seems that my theory was wrong. This is what a good build in the port directory should end up with when using Solaris:

libtool: link: ar cru .libs/libport.a dummy.o
libtool: link: ranlib .libs/libport.a

libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "libport.la" && ln -s "../libport.la" "libport.la" )

Please make sure that /usr/ccs/bin is in your executable search path (PATH). That is the directory where the missing executable ('ar') should be coming from.

If in doubt, doing 'which ar' should result like this:

   % which ar
   /usr/ccs/bin/ar
