I recommend the wrox book linux programming for beginers. it covers the topics you need for this project. after digesting this book you will be able to do what you want. D

Arkm, thanks for your input. So somehow I will need to compile AND run this application on Sun.

I want to compile my C program on linux and then run it on Sun Solaris. I created a small + basic application that is just a hello world app but doesn't work. I forgot the error message but it was something like can't run yourapp.o any sugestions? Thanks
