Add some echos to /etc/profile to make sure it's really being executed,
maybe.

Edit /etc/rc.conf and add your path to ldconfig_paths, or create a
small startup script to put in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with the command
"ldconfig -m /usr/local/wherever_libmysqlclient.so_is". /etc/ld.so.conf
is a Linuxism.
Or solve both of your problems at once by removing /usr/local/mysql and
installing the /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-client and mysql40-server
ports :)
