    Problems with libmysqlclient_r.so and MySQL Workbench

    I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 for the first time 2 days ago, and now I have run into a small problem.

    I need to connect to some remote databases and plan to use MySQL Workbench for that.

    I have downloaded the mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.18a-1ubu904-i386.deb from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench and installed it using the Package Installer.

    But when I use Workbench to connect to a remote database, I get the message:
    Test connect failed
    Couldn't load library libmysqlclient_r.so: libmysqlclient_r.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    I then did some research and found this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MySqlWorkBench

    In a terminal i entered:
    sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-0 libzip1 libmysqlclient15off
    sudo dpkg -i /home/tormok/Downloads/mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.18a-1ubu904-i386.deb


    And I still get the same error, when I try to connect to the database.

    I then tried:
    sudo apt-get remove liblua5.1-0 libzip1 libmysqlclient15off
    sudo apt-get remove mysql-workbench-oss


    and again:
    sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-0 libzip1 libmysqlclient15off
    sudo dpkg -i /home/tormok/Downloads/mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.18a-1ubu904-i386.deb


    And I can still get the same error message.

    What do I do now?

    I solved it.

    I opened Synaptic Package Manager and installed libmysql++3 and libmysql++-dev, and no longer get the error message.

    After searching through tonnes of posts this is all you need
    Thanks

    Im impressed with Workbench, the Reverse and Forward Engineer along with the synchronize functions are really cool

    libmysql++3 and libmysql++-dev didn't work for me...

    my solution was installing Workbench 5.2.22 RC 2
