> Being new to macports but having compiled MySQL 5.1.19 from source into /usr/local I too saw similar errors. I fixed them by passings flags to  ./configure implicitly giving absolute paths to the mysql <header files>. This can also be set in your bash profile if the flags option is unavailable.

If you're going to use MacPorts, please don't install things in /usr/local.

If you install things in /usr/local, MacPorts ports can break in unexpected ways.
