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

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,
