Description:
I have a crash with the Workbench while trying to import (reverse engineer) an existing database. The same crash happened with version 5.1.16 of the Workbench.
The crash happens when I select the option "place objets on diagram".

How to repeat:
Just launch the Workbench (on an OpenSUSE box) & try to "Create EER Model from Existing Database". The crash happens at le very last step.

Hi Robert,
could you please try with the latest release of workbench (5.2.21) to check if the problem still exists?
thans in advance

I'd suggest you to try RPM for RedHat, this one: mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.22-1el6.i386.rpm. It may not work because of dependencies though.

Sorry. The Red Hat (and the Fedora) version has dependencies conflicts with my OpenSuSE system.
Why don't you build a 32 bit version for OpenSuSE ? It shouldn't be soo difficult, since you already built a 64 bits version.

Are you tried to build from source?. Thanks in advance.

OK, I downloaded the 5.2.24 source (tar.gz), & compiled. Not an easy task ! (there are TONS of dependencies, even lua I didn't expect to find there). Anyway, IT WORKS.
I'm happy with i now. 
It could happen that the 5.1 & 5.2.16b bug was a packaging bug (missing dependencies). 
So I suggest to test again the binary SuSE release before going toward the 5.2.24 final version & release.
