I'm having trouble installing RTEMS on my build-host

[kmedri kmedri]

As a supporter of open source and considering what RTEMS offers, it looks 
like it
is well suited for my applications. As it turns out I have ended up with a 
Red Hat
8.0 system as my build-host on which I started to try to get the development 
suite
installed for an intended m68k family target.

I visited the website and followed the download helper. Then in following 
the
Getting Started with RTEMS (started.pdf - Edition 4.6.0, for 4.6.0 - 22 
October 2003)
I encountered trouble.

On page 27 (a.k.a. page 31) section 5.2 the switch should be something more 
like xjf
than xzf in the command "tar xzf ../archive/rtems-4.6.0.tar.bz2"

The next hurdle was tougher so I tried to use the FAQ for support in case I 
was
running into a common issue:
http://physics.usask.ca/~angie/ep414/labmanual/rtemsdocsx/FAQ/FAQ00011.html
http://www.rtems.com/onlinedocs/doc-current/share/rtems/html/FAQ/FAQ00011.html
respectively say to visit:
http://www.oarcorp.com/RTEMS/RTEMS_Project/Mail_Lists/mail_lists.html
http://www.oarcorp.com/rtems/maillistArchives/rtems-users
which are dead links. As far as mailing lists my wish was to view an archive 
to see
if my question had already been covered, I successfully found the archive 
at:
http://www.rtems.com/ml/rtems-users/
and correct information for subscribing/allowing posts to 
<rtems-users at rtems.com> is available at:
http://www.rtems.com/lists.html

As far as the problem, the same friend who has helped me at many points 
along the way
found a 1999 post where it said to remove 
--enable-rtemsbsp=<BOARD_SUPPORT_PACKAGE>
from the below command (section 5.5.1 page 29 a.k.a. page 33) and specify it 
later:
../rtems-4.6.0/configure --target=m68k --disable-posix --disable-networking 
--disable-cxx --enable-rtemsbsp=m68k-rtems --prefix=/opt/rtems-4.6
was thus changed to:
../rtems-4.6.0/configure --target=m68k --disable-posix --disable-networking 
--disable-cxx --prefix=/opt/rtems-4.6

which lets us know:
available BSPs: dmv152 efi332 efi68k gen68302 gen68340 gen68360 gen68360_040 
idp mcf5206elite mrm332 mvme136 mvme147 mvme147s mvme162 mvme162lx mvme167 
ods68302 sim68000 simcpu32.
'gmake all' will build the following BSPs: dmv152 efi332 efi68k gen68302 
gen68340 gen68360 gen68360_040 idp mcf5206elite mrm332 mvme136 mvme147 
mvme147s mvme162 mvme162lx mvme167 ods68302 sim68000 simcpu32.
other BSPs can be built with 'gmake RTEMS_BSP="bsp1 bsp2 ..."'

I figure I will do this one I have actually decided on a particular 68k.

Now I'm stuck, I run "make all install" which takes a while to execute and 
starts
having issues at the following point:

My friend was able to point out that configure should have maybe set the 
path where
"ar" should be found but the path is not set and takes a default value of 
"no".

Help will be appreciated, thanks.
