Above advice is probably the way to go. It's easier to setup the shaders in Carrara and then save the model as a .car file or re-export to .obj.
Usually its the .mtl file that goes with the .obj that has all the base material settings and pointers to the texture images. The .mtl is just text, so if you want to you can edit it in Notepad or TextEdit... It could be that your .mtl file is missing if you don't have any material zones or textures on anything.
I also consider it a good habit when working with .obj models to put the .obj, .mtl, and texture images together in a folder just for that model. That way everything that's associated with each other stays together.
