Comment:

 Replying to [comment:8 tim.tunbridge@…]:
 > The selfupdate reported that MacPorts base is already the latest
 version.

 Yes, but it also updated your port definitions, although it does not tell
 you that in the current version of MacPorts. (It will in the next
 version.) Dozens of ports are updated every day.

 > After then executing the upgrade the file /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib now
 exists.

 Great! Glad it's working now. Apparently "something" went wrong when you
 built zlib the last time, but since the current version of MacPorts does
 not keep logs of what it did, we have no way of knowing what that was.

 > I am slightly wary of continuing with the install command as I have a
 working version of MySQL and do not want to break it particularly as I
 have a live project on the go. Hopefully the install command would now run
 through to completion.

 Agreed, changing a live system is tricky. If you're interested in
 MacPorts, consider setting it up on a test system first to get familiar
 with it.
