Some system-specific information can be found in the online
documentation.  Open the Help Browser window, click on the Add-ons button,
and then click on the topics on the scroll panes:

MathLink Library -> System-Specific Information -> Solaris

You can also look at the sample Makefile in the programming examples in
the MathLink Developer's Kit directory tree.  Paste this expression in a
notebook and evaluate it to determine where these files are on your
system.

ToFileName[
  {$TopDirectory, "AddOns", "MathLink", "DevelopersKits", 
    $SystemID, "MathLinkExamples"}
]

You should also consult with your local computer support staff to become
familiar with the software development tools on your system.  Many
mistakes made by beginning MathLink programmers arise from lack of
understanding of their own C compilers.
