install mysql5-server install fails in snow leopard

[abiggerdogg]

I recently upgraded from OS/X 10.5.8 to 10.6.3.

I was attempting to follow the snow leopard ports migration guide. I had executed the following commands.

port -f uninstall installed port clean --work --archive all

I was able to successfully install a number of other ports, such as gimp and mplayer-devel.

port install mysql5-server failed with the following messages:
