I found that there are some differents between Max osx and linux jsut like ubuntu, etc. is there any introduction about that, or is there any one can make a introduction.
for example:
ubuntu: /usr/lib/
10.8.2 osx:
- /usr/lib
- /usr/libexec

Your question is too broad. While similar in some ways, there are many fundamental differences than between software packaging on OS X and something like Ubuntu - well beyond "stuff goes here on Linux, and here on OS X".
For example, libraries typically live in "bundles" rather than folders like in /usr/lib
- either as .Framework
bundles which live in /Library/Frameworks
or ~/Library/Frameworks
(the framework bundles include headers, support versioning etc). Or shared libraries may live in application bundles... etc - each of these is a big topic by itself.
Without a more specific question, any answer shorter than a small book may not be very informative..
This article explains some of the basic locations, and their Linux-equivalents
Apple's documentation on this kind of stuff is extensive (e.g the intro to Frameworks)
