The answer that everyone gave (and quickly, too! Do you people just sit
around waiting for a chance to be brilliant? :-) was that I needed to
install the "Realtime Software Development" subset. Put that in, and it
worked great. Here's a kernel of knowledge I thought worth sharing:
# cd /usr/.smdb.
# grep librt.so *.inv
OSFRTDEV350.inv:0 98304 56329 3 4 100644 7/24/95 350
f./usr/shlib/librt.so none OSFRTDEV350
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks to philip_at_uvo.dec.com for that little gem, and thanks to all the
speedy and accurate response!
