If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/mysql5-devel
%  sudo port install mysql5-devel  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching mysql5-devel
--->  Verifying checksum for mysql5-devel
--->  Extracting mysql5-devel
--->  Configuring mysql5-devel
--->  Building mysql5-devel with target all

--->  Staging mysql5-devel into destroot

--->  Installing mysql5-devel

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using mysql5-devel with these commands:

%  man mysql5-devel
%  apropos mysql5-devel
%  which mysql5-devel
%  locate mysql5-devel
