I've had this happen to me before, and adding

-D CMAKE_AR="/usr/bin/ar"

to the cmake configure line fixed the problem.

Googling "cmake examples" is helpful. Once you can get a basic project to configure, then go back to configuring Trilinos.

This bug is not because of the version of trilinos because I have tried 12.0 and 12.10, they also shows the same bug. Maybe it is very easy but I am totally  a newbie of ubuntu. I attach files to let you know my bug in detail. "do-configure" is the code I input in terminal. The other files are error files. Could you please help me with this issue?
