Description:
On fedora /bin is a simple link to /usr/bin, so, with same visible content.

So according to directories order in the user PATH, could use /bin/mysql-workbench, which fails to detect installation prefix (/ instead of /usr)

Here is a little patch which seems a more reliable way to detect installation prefix, and location of other stuff..

How to repeat:
$ /bin/mysql-workbench
/bin/catchsegv: line 57: //libexec/mysql-workbench-bin: No such file or directory

Suggested fix:
See attached patch

Thanks for the bug report. The patch is not reliable either, but we will think of some solution.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.0.2 public beta release, and here's the changelog entry:

On Fedora Linux, the MySQL Workbench binary "PATH" was not properly set on
some systems.

Thank you for the bug report.
