Solaris 10, the most recent supported version, ships with GNOME 2.6 /  
gtk+ 2.4.  So if you don't use any widgets or functions newer than  
that, you'll be fine.  Otherwise you'll need to use static linking or  
some other approach to provide that functionality to Solaris users.

Solaris 8 and 9 didn't ship with gtk/GNOME, but a supported download  
from Sun provided GNOME/gtk 2.0.  So if you want your application to  
run on Solaris 8, 9 _and_ 10, without static linking, you'll be  
restricted to the gtk 2.0 widgets and functions.  I'm guessing you  
might not want to do that :)

(Note that the next version of Solaris should be shipping with  
something much closer to HEAD than was previously possible...  
OpenSolaris is currently using GNOME 2.14 / gtk+ 2.8, and will be  
switching to GNOME 2.15/2.16 soon.)

Be aware too that there are other differences between Linux and  
Solaris that your app may need to be aware of, such as differences  
between the command line options of some GNU and Solaris utilities.
