Configuring MySQL5 error can't open input file: /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib

[tim.tunbridge@…]

Hi - having upgraded from Mac OS X 10.4.11 to 10.6 I am trying to use Macports (for the first time) to bring my version of MySQL up to date but I am currently getting the following error ...

Eddie:~ timtunbridge$ sudo port install mysql5
--->  Computing dependencies for mysql5
--->  Configuring mysql5
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: lipo: can't open input file: /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib (No such file or directory)
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Prior to getting to this point, I determined that I needed to install XCode (which I did from my Mac OS X 10.6 disks). The install mysql5 command then appeared to make good progress, fetching and installing various "things" but stopped with the same above error. Whenever I now type the install command, it immediately issues the above error.

Having checked the FAQ and previous tickets, I am not sure where to turn to next.

Regards Tim

Looks like a missing dependency. What is the output of the following?

port installed zlib
