Everyone said that the patch should work, but I still could not get it to
work.
The CD that I received recently has SPARCworks version 2.1.1 on it and it did
not have a package called SPROswmgr(Tools_manager). (Note that I mount the
CD on a 4.1.3 machine. Is there another filesystem on the CD on a different
slice?).
I did get the sparcworks application to work by copying it to the location
where I had done the installation. (I did not use /opt for my install, but
I do have a symbolic link from /opt/SUNWspro to the correct alternate
partition. The patch never did work; I did try everything that everyone
suggested.
