Here is the problem, it seems. libmysqld.a resides in /opt/local/lib/mysql5/mysql/ 

So, Amarok is looking for this file in the wrong directory. I also installed mysql-server-devel, but this had no impact. Perhaps the Amarok dependency needs to be updated?

I would like to wish everyone on the list and at Macports a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Your hard work is truly appreciated.
