NotebookDirectory[] returns the directory the current notebook
resides if it has been saved. If you execute this command in a
fresh session in a notebook that has not been saved it will
return $Failed with an error message stating the notebook has
not been saved.

Assuming Mathlink uses the same search order as for loading
packages with Get or Needs, then the directories looked at will
be the current working directory which is what is returned by
Directory[] or the directories returned by $Path
