This the subject of
http://amber.scripps.edu/sunos.html
To fix it put the grep in /usr/xpg4/bin/ first in your PATH or remove
the -q option from the grep commands in src/Makefile and the other files.

The AR command in src/config.h should have a space after the v.
For example, cat -ev src/config.h should show
AR=ar rv $
If there's no space then rerun configure and verify that the space exists;
if there's a space then send verbose details such as uname -a, which make,
your configure command, the config.h, the output of make -np|cat -vet from
src/sander, and anything else that might be useful since something is amiss :)
Please send the details in the text of your message, not as attachments.
