I am new to the mysql distribution. I have downloaded the solaris8 version (not 64 bit one) and I could not find the libmysqlclient.so but I do find the libmysqlclient.a.

it seems that they dont distribute the .so lib since the last release, or couple of last releases. You need to compile the sourcecode of mysql or get the .so lib at somewhere else.
