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 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get your own web address.
