Installing MySQL Workbench 5.2.15b on Gentoo Linux Part 2
modified on 10/2/10 by ohcibi
Nice one! Less than two days after i wrote the last post mysql-workbench-5.2.15 was available in portage. With less dependencies and no worries about python libraries and stuff.
Non-gnome users should add two lines to their /etc/portage/package.use file:
gnome-base/gvfs gnome
net-libs/libsoup gnome
Afterwards just running
emerge -av mysql-workbench
should do any further steps.
But wait: whole new package and no bugs? Of course not. Seems like the ebuild misses a dependency for dev-libs/boost. Its not installed as a dep when you install mysql-workbench. The build of workbench will fail if its not installed yet though.
So before emerging mysql-workbench you should check if boost is installed and emerge it otherwise:
emerge -av boost && emerge mysql-workbench
