yes your're completely right Blair.
I'm missing /usr/ccs/lib/values-Xa.o which I have among other things
on a different server.

Maybe you've dealt with it before: is it under Solaris possible to
see where values-Xa.o comes from, I mean which package is associated
to it?

I know this from Linux with its RPM, where it is per command possible.
