This is the author again. Of course, 10 minutes after I post a question, I
find the solution. (After hours of searching beforehand)
If anyone else has this problem, the solution for me was:
edit /etc/ld.so.conf
add the line: /usr/local/mysql/lib
then run /etc/ldconfig
Fixed the problem right up. No idea why or how this worked, but everything
is working now.
