Hi Paul,

The libraries you want are in the SUNWcsl, SUNWxwrtl, SUNWxwplt,
SUNWmfrun and a few other packages. They can be found in the
Product directory on a Solaris install CD. Take a look in
/var/sadm/install/contents on a Solaris system to determine which
packages you would need to get the required libraries.

You can use the libs from an Ultra; simply follow the instructions in
compat_svr4(8). The 64-bit libs (if installed) won't be used unless you
are running sparc64.

Hope this helps.
