Again, as I wrote in my last post, I don't know *exactly* what command needs to be entered!! I have tried this in the /etc/rc.conf file: >> >> setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/ >> --or-- >> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/mysql/" >> --or-- >> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mysql/ >> >> none of which work. I have tried creating a script and chmod +x in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d folder: >> >> #!/bin/csh >> setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/ >> >> and that doesn't work, either. Would it be okay if I asked anyone out there to tell me *exactly* what I need to do to get this to be set on startup?? >> TIA. >> Drew > >>The question is, what's failing (or not behaving as >>expected)? I would like that line to execute upon startup. Right now, every time I boot the machine, I have to remember to enter that setenv command, and that's a nuisance. I would like it to be automatic.
