PHP4 can't find mysqlclient - Openbsd

[Anon]

hello, i'm trying to install the PHP4 port on OpenBSD 2.9. I do:
#setenv FLAVOR mysql
#make

and it gives me :
php4-4.0.4pl1-mysql depends on: mysqlclient - not found

however, mysql is installed & running ok.
i have the libmysqlclient.so and libmysqlclient.so.10.0 files in /usr/local/lib/mysql
I've tried adding this to the path, and also symlinking them to the same filenames in /usr/lib. No dice

I encountered this same problem trying to install the perl DBD module, so if you can solve this you will help me with both of my current problems, and i will be forever grateful 🙂

Well as is usually the case, I figured this out about 5 minutes after posting.

added /usr/local/lib/mysql to the
shlib_dirs parameter in /etc/rc.conf

I thought I had already done that, which was the reason I was pulling my hair out....solved for now, although I'm sure I'll be back here later with something new 🙂
