    what is "ar" and how do I install it?

    Everytime I try to install anything with Klik it tells me that I need to instal and I quote... ar.

    What is ar and how do I install it?

    I'm using Kubuntu Breezy Badger, if that matters

    thanks in advance

    "ar" is still used a lot, e.g., for ".deb" archives (which are essentially ar files).

    Ubuntu is one of the few distributions that don't ship ar by default. You can install it with
    apt-get install binutils

    See http://klik.atekon.de/wiki/index.php...to_use_klik.22

    The version of Xandros Linux that ships with the new Asus EeePC doesn't ship with ar installed either. But we can install binutils by opening a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T) and then typing "sudo apt-get install binutils".
