Guru's;
Thanks for the replies - got 17 including 2 "out of office" auto replies !
Most suggested doing a "grep <filename> /var/sadm/install/contents".
This is valid only if the package has been installed on the system or if
you have access to a system containing the library/package.
Other replies said use pkgchk, again, valid only if the package has already
been
installed.
I was unclear in my request as I had installed a minimum system
( Solaris 7 - core and Xwindow packages) and needed the package(s) that
contained the <filename> library.
Dave Maupin had the complete answer:
> If you have a machine with a full OS install available, grep for what

> If you don't have a machine with a full install, then you'll need to

> echo $i
> grep libtypesclr $i/pkgmap
> end
This is what I did and found the needed packages - Thanks !!
