Description:
when I run configure, it fails with the following:
checking for ranlib... ranlib
checking for pkg-config... no
checking for ../mysql-gui-common/library/base-library... no
configure: error: mysql-gui-common source tree must be present in the same directory as
this program

The configure.in indicates that it is checking for the presence of gui-common using the
old directory name.

How to repeat:
run "configure":
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var/lib

Suggested fix:
See attached patch.

Many thanks for writing a bug report.

Unfortunately MySQL Administrator is not supported for Linux at the moment.

We will implement whole MySQL Administrator functionality into Workbench. This will fix
your problem by automatism.

look what we will be able to do here.

I was tired of the patching so I made a copy of common folder then renamed it
mysql-gui-common
