Well, that created a binary, but when I rebooted...nothing. Same problem :(

I don't know for sure what you mean That's not an option. Is this
running from cron or at system bootup or something so there is no login
involved?

Correct

In those cases, it is well documented that your scripts have to be
completely responsible for their environments and paths, etc. So,
set everything within the scipt. Or, if it is something systemwide,
then put setting the variable it in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.local if
you let your system have one.

Exactly. But how? I could write a script like I did before:

#!/bin/csh
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/

(chmod +x) but that didn't execute, dunno why. But then how do I call that script? What shell does /etc/rc.conf use?
TIA,
Drew
