Oop, I snipped too much from your problematic machine info above:

Also move /usr/local out of the way. I can't see what's in your /usr/ 
local/lib, but compilers look there by default, and we do not know  
how to inform the compiler not to do this, so things you install with  
MacPorts or Fink or manually may automatically link with things in / 
usr/local/lib, which for MacPorts at least we definitely do not want.

I see you have MySQL in /usr/local. I recommend you install MySQL  
with MacPorts as well.
