Description:
If i build mysql-gui-common and mysql-administrator with prefix=/path/to/prefix exec-prefix=/path/prefix/subarch mysql-gui-common save references.glade to /path/to/prefix/lib and mysql-administrator looks in path/prefix/subarch/lib/ for it.

How to repeat:
build with --prefix and --exec-prefix not match

Hi!

Thanks for your bug report.  I was able to reproduce this under FC5 w/1.1.6

The error is not in the configure script, but in the startup script (mysql-administrator is a script which will call mysql-administrator-bin), which will take the prefix of the executable to guess the location of the data files (so that the datafiles will be found werever you install the binary package). I recommend you to modify the script manually to suit your site's needs. I'll close this as Won't fix, but if you have a generic and transparent solution, I'll be happy to implement it (please reopen the bug if so).
