1. Gtk+-1.2.10-sol10-sparc-local.gz
2. Pcre-4.5-sol10-sparc-local.gz
3. libgcc-3.3-sol10-sparc-local.gz
4. tcpdump-3.8.3-sol10-sparc-local.gz
5. glib-1.2.10-sol10-sparc-local.gz
6. libpcap-0.8.3-sol10-sparc-local.gz
7. zlib-1.2.2-sol10-sparc-local.gz
Download the above package from following location

pkgadd -d tcpdump-3.8.3-sol10-sparc-local.gz
pkgadd -d glib-1.2.10-sol10-sparc-local.gz
pkgadd -d libpcap-0.8.3-sol10-sparc-local.gz
pkgadd -d zlib-1.2.2-sol10-sparc-local.gz
