I assume this is when linking, not when running, the program?

On a number of systems mysql libs are installed in ${prefix}/lib/mysql/
rather than ${prefix}/lib

So you might want to try -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql or similar.

These pages might help too:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Solaris.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Solaris_2.7.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Installation_layouts.html

Hope that helps,
