Then, grab the source trees (mysql-gui-common, mysql-administrator, mysql-query-browser). You should probably grab source tarballs rather than using the BK trees… I had to edit some files to get it to build – but that’s probably just today. Tomorrow it will be a different story.

you’ll want to add the path to mysql_config to your PATH

cd mysql-gui-common; sh ./autogen.sh –prefix=/whatever/you/want && make && make install

cd ../mysql-adiministrator; sh ./autogen.sh –prefix=/whatever/you/want && make && make install

cd ../mysql-query-browser; sh ./autogen.sh –prefix=/whatever/you/want && make && make install

you should then be able to run them and connect to a mysql server
