Thanks to all who responded!
I was indeed missing a subset. I needed the OSFPGMRxxx subset. I also
gained some more information on subsets. Basically, If you are unsure of
the subset you need, or want to know what files are included in a subset:
in the /usr/.smdb. directory you can find a list of all the subsets, and
there is a file of by the name of SUBSETNAME.inv that has a listing of all
of it's files it's location and size. This information was given to me by
a person that, unfortunately, I cannot give direct credit to. The message
arrived to me with no sender specified, and I have since lost the full
header information. Sorry I can't Identify you, but thanks.

Original Question:
DEC Unix Gurus,
I am experiencing some problems with missing header files on an OSF 3.0
Alpha station that I recently started working on. After trying to compile
GCC and WU-FTPD on this machine (with many problems) I discovered what
appears to be a very empty '/usr/include' directory. By very empty I mean
that stdio.h, time.h, string.h and a ton of others were missing. Furthur
searching found that these files were nowhere on the system. Since I had
no
part in the installation of this system I assumed I was missing a subset.
I
took a look at my working DU 3.2 machine a found a subset by the name
CXXHDRA120 which has a description of "DEC C++ headers for OSF/1 AXP
Systems". Assuming that this was the subset I was looking for, I went back
to work on the DU 3.0 machine to find that there was no mention of the said
subset. I have searched the CD-ROMs that came with the 3.0 machine nad have
had no luck finding any subset that comes close to the description. I'm
sure
that there is something simple that I am missing, but I think I'm just
spinning my wheels at this point. Can anyone help? Please mail me
directly
at m_sweet_at_tec.nh.us and I'll summarize my finding to the list.
Thanks,
G. Matthew Sweet
