Yea but would make (which make?) output a message like

  'Make  cannot load ranlib.' ??

That seems strange.  Anyway, the ranlib command appears in various
files WWW/Library/*/*[Mm]akefile but should be preceded by '-' so that
make will ignore the error if it doesn't exist.  Maybe he has a weird
make.
