Installing to pfsense

[Franz]

Ok,
So Installed freeradius2 from ports on another system, and which is working,
then I did pkg_create -Rjb freeradius-2.1.10_2 and got all needed files,
transported all to the pfsense machine, did a pkg_add and all installed ok,
however when enabling sql I still see error:

Could not link driver rlm_sql_mysql: file not found
Make sure it (and all its dependent libraries!) are in the search path of
your system's ld.
/usr/local/etc/raddb/sql.conf[22]: Instantiation failed for module "sql"
/usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel[131]: Failed to load module
"sql".
/usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel[47]: Errors parsing
authorize section.

and when I check all fles are in here:
/usr/local/lib/freeradius-2.1.10
     rlm_sql_mysql-2.1.10.la
     rlm_sql_mysql.so
     rlm_sql_mysql.la
     rlm_sql_mysql.a
     rlm_sql_mysql-2.1.10.so

under radiusd.conf the shared lib points to:

libdir = /usr/local/lib/freeradius-2.1.10

Any clue as to why it does not see the files?

Thanks
