I was able to fix by simply copying ar
from another 11.23 system. Also had to copy ld.
I didn't catch on to the "ELF-32 exe object file" error.
Strange, but this seems to come from a IA64 install.

---------Original query----------
System: HP-UX 11.23 PA-RISC
I'm getting errors with ar trying to install some packages.
root@[foo]/var/adm/sw> ls -l /usr/ccs/bin/ar
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 28112 Oct 29 2003 /usr/ccs/bin/ar
root@[foo]/var/adm/sw> file /usr/ccs/bin/ar
/usr/ccs/bin/ar: ELF-32 executable object file
root@[foo]/var/adm/sw> /usr/ccs/bin/ar
ksh: /usr/ccs/bin/ar: cannot execute
That size doesn't match at all the size of ar on another of
our HP-UX 11.23 servers.
We don't have a backup of this system (might have a Ignite
done, not sure). Can I simply copy ar from another server
running the same OS? Can I reinstall a particular package?
What's the easiest way to fix this?
Marco
