Can someone tell me what the default path and possibly what the file names are?

TIA
 
Insufficient data for a meaningful answer. I am assuming you mean the MySQL client libraries.

On what OS is your installation of MySQL running? How was the server installed? ______________________________________________________________________

OS is Solaris 9 with default install for MySql 2.23.52
 
I don't know about Solaris, but the traditional Unix default location for shared libraries is /usr/local, with libraries dispersed inside /usr/local/share, /usr/local/lib, etc... according to standard layout.

But many more modern Unix apps (especially the Linux-oriented ones) build a complete directory inside /usr/local where all the libraries for that particular app are isolated from the rest. Thus MySQL usually defaults to /usr/local/mysql, with shared libraries in /usr/local/mysql/lib, /usr/local/mysql/share, etc...

These are the names of the libs I found in my MySQL directory (/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/):
Code:
libdbug.a  libmerge.a   libmyisammrg.a    libmysqlclient.la*  libmysqlclient.so.10*  libmysys.a
libheap.a  libmyisam.a  libmysqlclient.a  libmysqlclient.so@  libmystrings.a         libnisam.a
