Great!
Thanks a lot! :-)
I was loosing myself in dependencies and old sources …
But why MySQL Workbench is available only for Windows?

Hey, thanks a lot.. I was just wondering how to get it started.
Whenever I find a problem with linux a single google search usually gives me the answer.. :-)

has some information on getting DBdesigner to work on Ubuntu, which consists of getting some rpms, using alien to move those into deb format, and then installing and editing config files.

I’m seeing that, too. Back in FC5 there was a mysql-compat package that would provide a working libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0, but that does not seem to exist.

Mysql AB has something called Mysql Workbench (formerly DBDesigner) but they only released it in alpha for windows.

Hi Erich,

Glad to hear it worked for you too. Sadly I believe the mysql driver needs replacing as it wouldn’t connect to the db once I’d started it up.

Yup, you saved me hours of work. Thanks.
