Here you go, download the file below and compile/install:
ftp://ftp.windowmaker.org/pub/libs/l...-0.10.1.tar.gz

Sounds like thats all you're missing at the moment... Just compile with the
following:
../configure --prefix=/usr ; make -s ; make install-strip -s
and you should be on your way. Will L G

I downloaded and installed the archive you pointed me to. This did not
seem to change the situation. I still get the same error when I try to
run "bpcd".

I did notice that the /usr/lib/ directory had a file called
libPropList.so after doing this installation, so I then made a symlink
at "/usr/lib/libproplist.so" to /usr/lib/libPropList.so. This also did
not seem to work.

Is there something else I need to do after this to get bpcd to run? I
followed your installation instructions, and then ran it and still got
the same error message:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd: : Fatal Error: cannot map libproplist.so

Thanks!

Honestly I doubt that the WindowMaker proplist lib will be of any help. I
guess your best bet is to export (NFS) the stuff you want to backup and
mount it on some other box that has a working client of netbackup
installed... (or copy snapshots, etc)
