You might want to add to the PATH the way Slackware packages do it. They
put files in /etc/profiles.d which are run by the login scripts. For
example, the tetex package adds files tetex.sh (which is used if you shell
is bash) and tetex.csh (for csh). In the file tetex.sh is

#!/bin/sh
# Add PATH and MANPATH for teTeX:
PATH="$PATH:/usr/share/texmf/bin"
MANPATH="$MANPATH:/usr/share/texmf/man"

You could manually add a similar file for MySQL.
