well if you installed Cantata from the repos then MPD is supposed to be pulled in as a dependency. At least thats if I'm reading the dep list on packages.ubuntu.org correctly.
So it it possible that other dependencies might be missing as well? there could be a pulseaudio module or something that it needs to pull in, but didn't. You might want to uninstall both Cantata and mpd, then 'apt-get install cantata'. If it doesn't pull in mpd automatically then you might have an issue with dependency resolution. Or maybe the packages are all buggered up and you need to notify the maintainers ;-) The fact that you had to install mpd yourself when it was supposed to be automatic should be cause for concern all on it's own.
