Dan - thanks for the reply.

I did the following:
cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-client
script ../t
make clean
make
make deinstall && make reinstall
exit

Installation completed successfully.

mysqlclient.16 still cannot be found, nor does the filename occur in ../t.

Any ideas where to go next? 
I can put the script output up on the web if you think it'll help. It's kinda
big for an email.

thanks,
Gene
