One other thing to try: examine the output of 'ldconfig -r' -- you
should see -libmysqlclient.18 somewhere in the listing.

The default location the ports will install that library is

/usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18

which, you'll notice is in a subdirectory of /usr/local/lib -- not on
the default shared library search path.  If it's been correctly
installed however you should see /usr/local/lib/mysql amongst the search
directories around the 2nd line of the ldconfig -r output.

If not, you can run this:

  ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/mysql

You only need to do that once, and the system should remember it.
Installing from the port or packages (old or pkgng style) should do that
automatically.  How did you install mysql-client?

	Cheers,
