MySQL Workbench on Ubuntu

3 November 2009 sebastian Development, 0 Switch language:

Download the latest release from the MySQL Website. I used the 64-Bit Debian Paket for Ubuntu 9.04 it works on Jaunty (9.04) and on Karmic (9.10).

sudo dpkg -i mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.18-1ubu904-amd64.deb

Now you can start MySQL Workbench via your menu (Development Section).

If you use it together with an MySQL database you may get this message:

Couldn't load library libmysqlclient_r.so:
libmysqlclient_r.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

You have to create an symlink to your libmysqlclient.

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so

Note: You have to replace “libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0″ with your version (“libmysqlclient_r.so.16.0.0″ for example).
