If you try to issue a drush command on corn and receive the following error: php: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory it is looking for php in the wrong location. Open your .cshrc and find: 
if ( ! $?site_path ) then
   set site_path=( \
   /usr/local/bin /usr/sweet/bin /usr/bin \
       /usr/pubsw/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/proc/bin \
 
....etc.
Fix that and then logout and log back in. Thanks to Marco for the instructions.

Alternative Method

Running the following command will update your .cshrc file for you:

updaterc

Note that the updaterc command will rename your existing .cshrc file to .cshrc.old.

(Thanks Sharon!)

Note how /usr/bin needs to be before/usr/pubsw/bin.
