 This is the very first time I have used Macports, so did I need to do that
 first?

 If you're sure you never had MacPorts installed before, then that's fine;
 then there would be nothing to uninstall.

 installed Xcode and got to this point.

 It failed presumably due to missing Xcode?

 during this process, is that where I went wrong? [[br]]

 Which MySQL do you have installed? MacPorts does not use libraries you
 have installed separately. If you want to use MySQL with something from
 MacPorts, you probably want to uninstall any MySQL you manually installed,
 then "sudo port install mysql5" (if you want the MySQL client) and "sudo
 port install mysql5-server" (if you want a MySQL server).

 Macports in future. [[br]]

 Does the file /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib exist? What does "port contents
 zlib" say?
