One person said I should create the symlink, a couple said they haven't
seen the problem.
Special thanks to Casper Dik <Casper.Dik@holland.sun.com> who hit the nail
on the head. The symlink is already there, in /opt/SUNWspro/lib. The
developer was using /usr/lib directly. Once he changed to using
/opt/SUNWspro/lib, everything was fine.
