I haven’t installed mysql on even a recent macOS, but in doing a web search on ‘libndb’ I find that is primarily for compatibility with Plan 9 operating systems.  I am not sure why it is being required.  Perhaps a configuration option needs to be tweaked?  Is the source code of libndb included in the mysql bundle that is downloaded?

Another option is that fink is building libndb as a dynamic library instead of a static one.  Use the -k option to check if the library exists as a dynamic library in the build folder.  It looks like that library should be part of the build.

“In summary, libndb serves as a crucial tool for developers working within the Plan 9 operating system, enabling them to manage databases efficiently and effectively.”
