Odd.

Normally, this is caused by forgetting the bbconfig step in the
install, but not in this case. Maybe this machine has some library
confusion or even a corrupt one. Is it doing anything else weird?

Anyway, the quick solution is not to bother installing at all. As
long as you have other Solaris 7 machines (similarly patched and
on the same hardware), just install and compile on one. You can
then tar the client up and copy it to the others. My guess is that
this machine might still complain, but it will be a different error
which would probably be helpful.

Cheers, Phil.
