Much to my regret i had to realize that mysql-gui-tools does not include the workbench (yet?), dbdesigners successor. Therefore I successfully tried to install dbdesigner on my new amd4 system. A few months ago i installed it on my x86 box, with similar problems. Please note that the steps for x86 show what i *think* i did. Maybe i created more symlinks... (also, as i did it on amd64 it might be preferred to add the files and symlinks in Linuxlib instead of /usr/lib) helpful links: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=125911 http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/sourceforge/s/sk/skychart/libborqt-6.9.0-2.i386.html http://wiki.splitbrain.org/dbdesigner related: Bug 123769 - Bug 135731 _ x86 _ 1. added missing symlink: ln -s libXft.so.2.1.2 /usr/lib/libXft.so.1 2. - copied libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so (from libborqt-6.9.0-2.i386.rpm) to /usr/lib - ln -s libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so /usr/lib/libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so 3. - rm /opt/DBDesigner4/Linuxlib/libqt.so.2 - ln -s /usr/lib/libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so /opt/DBDesigner4/Linuxlib/libqt.so.2 _ amd64 _ to emerge dbdesigner, i had to add these lines to package.keywords sys-libs/lib-compat x86 dev-db/dbdesigner ~x86 i think those packages could have the ~amd64 keywords applied. 1. - copied libXft.so.2.1.2 from my 32bit box to /opt/DBDesigner4/Linuxlib/libXft.so.2.1.2-32bit - added missing symlink: ln -s libXft.so.2.1.2-32bit /opt/DBDesigner4/Linuxlib/libXft.so.1 2. - copied libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so (from libborqt-6.9.0-2.i386.rpm) to /opt/DBDesigner4/Linuxlib/ - ln -s libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so /opt/DBDesigner4/Linuxlib/libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so 3. - rm /opt/DBDesigner4/Linuxlib/libqt.so.2 - ln -s /opt/DBDesigner4/Linuxlib/libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so /opt/DBDesigner4/Linuxlib/libqt.so.2 additional requests: 1. enhance the info after emerging debdesigner: * To start DBDesigner4, run 'startdbd' add: * if the application does not start, see the error log: cat ~/.DBDesigner4/DBD4.log 2. add entry in kde menu "development" hope this is of any use :)
