Subject: Re: Setting Env

If you want the environment variable to
be set for something that is taking place in the script, then
that variable must either be set in a durable way in the parent
environment or be set right there in the script that is using it.
The rc.conf method will make it available from the parent.
That is the whole point of rc.conf.

Right. I figured that much. So, what do I actually put in that file? I tried 
these two options:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/mysql/"


It didn't like either, presumably because it's not calling a bash or c-shell. 
So, what should I put in /etc/rc.conf that will achieve my objective?
TIA,
Drew

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mysql/ not work for you?

Why not source environment variables from an outside script / rc-file? It's better / smarter in the long run, IMHO.
