If you could create an updated binary that would be good.  Also, I was told that the MySQL Query Browser was not included in Fedora Extras because of this very issue by the Red Hat guys.  I would be great if it were included in Fedora Extras.  You will get much higher usage of the tool that way.  I have actually grown to really like the tool, and have started to depend on it for day-to-day analysis tasks.  It has actually been quite a pain to be without it since I upgraded to Fedora Core 5.  By the way, they did include the MySQL Administrator in Fedora Extras because it didn't have this problem.

Thanks.

I'm not sure of the release schedule at MySQL but a quick solution would be to tell FC Extras about the patch, then they can compile binarys for all the different platforms FC5 supports and support a whole bunch of people.

I have been attempting to build from source with the patch, but I cannot even get the configure to work.  It keeps complaining that it cannot find the libglade-2.0 stuff that it needs, but I clearly have all of them installed.  If someone could create a binary distribution with the patches, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Patched binarys (i386 and x86_64 ONLY) here:

Please let the rest of us know if they work for you!

Bah, changed my mind. This is a separate issue! :)

Thank you for the bug report.

I had the same problem as Andrig Miller did - FC5 and couldn't get past configure.

You need the following FC5 rpms (at least):

gtkmm24-devel 
gtkmm24
libglade2
libglade2-devel
prce
prce-devel
gtkhtml3
gtkhtml3-devel

...and their dependencies.  You can yum them from the command line like so...
yum install {package name from above list}

THEN, you need, Paul Bank's patch (Thanks Paul!) from here:

http://activex-barcode.sourceforge.net/mysql/

To install the patch do:

     patch -p1 < mysqladministrator.fc5.1.patch

one directory level above mysql-query-browser-1.1.18

Finally, when you configure, you need to add a paramater like this...

./configure --with-gtkhtml=libgtkhtml-3.8 

otherwise you will get an error about being unable to find libgtkhtml-3.0 during configuration.

You might also want to change the prefix to /usr (instead of the default of /usr/local) since this is more Fedora-ish.  Otherwise, the binary will not be in your path. This is also done during configuration so it looks like this...

./configure --with-gtkhtml=libgtkhtml-3.8  prefix=/usr

Configure, make, make install mysql-gui-common
Configure, make, make install mysql-query-browser

And, hopefully, you are off to the races.

(I gave the patched binary link - which is the easy way. ;) )

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the
next release.

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
available version, including the bugfix, yourself. More information
