mysql workbench won't run on Centos 7

Hi All,

I've tried a couple of different rpm packages but still the application installs without error but won't run. It's been a few years since I spent any time with centos. The install completes and when I click on the short cut the application crashes and the centos bug reporter kicks in.

Can anyone give me some clue what's wrong ?

Server Working: mysql-community-server-5.7.20-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

Workbench: mysql-workbench-community-6.3.10-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

thanks in advance

Run it from a command prompt so you can see any error messages it issues.

Hi

Hope I've done this correct.....

Opened the terminal window and entered mysql-workbench.

/usr/libexec/mysql-workbench/mysql-workbench-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtinyxml.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Not sure but it might be missing some library.


thanks,

Yes, it's missing that library. Run yum provides '*/libtinyxml.so.0' to see what package(s) supply that file. Install it and try again.

Can't believe this but an update notification came in and I accepted without checking Mysql Workbench was being updated to latest.

Now Workbench no longer runs. :|

I did as you suggested last time ran workbench from the terminal window and reams of info displayed.... I believe a system dump was most of this.

At the top part it displayed some kind of warning.

Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

Not to worry......

Removed the latest version and manually reinstalled the previous and all is well.

How do I keep Centos from updating workbench at least for the foreseeable future ?


thanks,

I got tired of this and opted for phpMyAdmin on my db server. Now I web page in and it all 'just works'. In addition, because I used yum to install, updates are 'automatic'.
