Hi Managers,

many thanks for your help.

The original question was:

------------
Hi sun-managers,

I have a problem with the installation of the SUNWspro cc an c++.

We are using a Station 20 as a fileserver and 8 SparcClassics as
dataless clients. In addition we have 4 SparcStation 10 configured
as standalone systems.

Now we want to install the SparcWorks Professional C an C++ compiler.
I tried to install the compiler in the /opt directory of the server.
The dataless clients are able to use all the features.

Because of a lot other software installed in /opt of the server I mounted
the directory to /opt on the standalone systems. So I can use the binaries
of the compiler, but there are no include files or libraries.

Is it possible to install only the files needed by the compiler on the
standalone system, without installing all the stuff in /opt?
-------------

The solution:

I made a great mistake :-)
The final hint I received from Peter Barneveld.

That's it. I have mounted the SUNWspro directory from the server, but the
stanalone systems are configured with cluster SUNWCuser!
After reinstallation with cluster SUNWCprog the needed libraries and includes
are accessible.

But the license manager doesn't response. So I have to add a file
called /etc/opt/licenses/sunpro.loc. This file contains the path
to the license directory, e.g. /opt/SUNWspro/license_dir.
Furthermore there are three links wich are normally installed by
the installation routine of the SUNWspro:
ln -s /opt/SUNWspro/SC3.0.1/bin/acc /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc
ln -s /opt/SUNWspro/SC3.0.1/bin/lint /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint
ln -s /opt/SUNWspro/SC3.0.1/bin/whatdir /usr/ccs/bin/whatdir

That's all.

Thanks for all your help.
