If you are building under the C shell, then the syntax is
# setenv LD_RUN_PATH /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql

Note that for safety reasons it's better to build software as a non-root
user, and just switching to root for the 'make install' phase.

That won't have made any difference - that line would go in /etc/rc.conf if
it were to have any effect. In any case, it's not needed if you've set
LD_RUN_PATH at build time.

I'm pleased that you've managed to make it work.
