Modifying the default path setting in /etc/login.conf works well, and
applies to all shells. Remember to run 'cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf'
after your edits.

That just moves the mysql shlibs from /usr/local/mysql/lib to
/usr/local/lib/mysql -- the mysqlXX-client port will install
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/000.mysql-client.sh to add /usr/local/lib/mysql to
the search path for shlibs automatically. However that can be run too
late in the startup sequence for some purposes. In that case, you can
use the 'ldconfig_paths' variable in /etc/rc.conf:
ldconfig_paths=3D"/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/lo=
cal/lib/mysql"
Cheers,
Matthew
