These are package import libraries, much the same as DLL import libraries.

FWIW, you need to recompile and reinstall your packages, too...

And perhaps this blurb will help you (as you don't provide a complete,
exact error message I cannot tell):

It appears as if you upgraded from C++Builder 3.0; please remove "inet40"
and "inetdb40" from the list of runtime packages. If that does not fix the
problem, please choose Project | View Makefile and remove the equivalent
items from the SPARELIBS section.

The root of the problem is a slightly buggy BCB3 Professional -> BCB4
Professional project file upgrade: inet* are added to the BCB4 project
file, although they do not ship with BCB4 Professional, only with BCB4
Enterprise.
