Right. I figured that much. So, what do I actually put in that file? I tried these two options:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/mysql/"


It didn't like either, presumably because it's not calling a bash or c-shell. So, what should I put in /etc/rc.conf that will achieve my objective?
TIA,
Drew
