ar: liba2ps.a: rename: Permission denied



When I tried to install a package, I ran into the following problem. ``ar'' 
does not seem to be working. The original command from make was

ar cru .libs/liba2ps.a encoding.o media.o jobs.o output.o routines.o psgen.o 
prlog.o faces.o confg.o useropt.o gen.o printers.o psstat.o caret.o 
metaseq.o opt ons.o dsc.o fonts.o ppd.o prange.o stream.o document.o fjobs.o 
common.o madir.o lexppd.o parseppd.o xmalloc.o xgetcwd.o getopt.o getopt1.o 
xgethostname.o hashtb.o isdir.o pathconcat.o backupfile.o argmatch.o 
addext.o basename.o message.o
strrpl.o getshline.o pathwalk.o darray.o dstring.o printlen.o pair_ht.o 
filtdir.o str_ht.o title.o xbackupfile.o getnum.o stpcpy.o stpncpy.o 
obstack.o error.onmatch.o
ar: .libs/liba2ps.a: rename: Permission denied


I reduced it to the following and strongly believe it is a problem of 
``ar''.


zhengx@WNDIRD320 /cygdrive/o/software/a2ps-4.10.4/lib
$ ar -cr liba2ps.a media.o
ar: liba2ps.a: rename: Permission denied


Here is the version information,

$ uname -a

Thank you for your response.
