Steven:
Thank you for the update. I think that I installed the Administrative Client.
I would like to correct a statement that I made on this list. The 64bit Client for Sparc Solaris does not have the 32bit libraries. You have to install more of a client then this. I went back to the messag and yes, the Instant Client does have the 32 bit libraries and can be used to install both the 32 and 64 bit libraries. However, you can install the Admin Client instead.
Also, the 10g Client will work with Oracle 9i database for ARS 7.0. I have not installed ITSM 7.0 so I cannot state if this will work. However, there is another team working on this and I will have an update in the next two weeks.

Subject: Installing ARS 7 on SPARC Solaris - Issue and resolution
All,
I thought I'd share my recent experiences installing ARS 7 on SPARC Solaris. ARS 7 was built on the Oracle 10g 32-bit libraries.
Unfortunately Oracle does not have a 32-bit 10g client for SPARC Solaris.
They do have one for x86 Solaris, but it will not work. (Which leaves me to wonder how they certified this on this platform to start with).
If you attempt to install with the standard 64-bit 10g client, you'll get error messages similar to the following:
'ld.so.1: arserverd:
fatal: /usr/local/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib/libnnz10.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64'
In order to have the installation complete, I downloaded the Oracle Instantclient from Oracle.com, along with all the add-ons. I extracted the instant client at the same level as the Oracle 10g client:
/usr/local/oracle/product/10.2.0
/usr/local/oracle/product/instantclient
I then copied all the 'lib*' files from the instantclient directory to the /usr/local/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib directory, and re-ran the install. The installation completed without errors.
It may be possible to just use the 'Instantclient' instead of the full- blown 10g client. I haven't tested yet, but theoreticaly, it should work.
Hope this helps someone save some time and effort.
