Re: Error while loading shared libraries: libgdkmm-2.4.so.1

[Milosz Bodzek]

For clarification: you run Workbench by mysql-workbench command *not* mysql-workbench-bin, right?

Now you need locate where the lib is. Do the following:

sudo updatedb
locate libgdkmm-2.4.so.1

Next thing is making that path visible to Workbench. You can do that in few different way, but in this case I'll suggest you to edit file:

/usr/bin/mysql-workbench

Near end of file you'll find few export expressions, for instance:

export MWB_BINARIES_DIR="$destdir/usr/local/bin"

So add another one that will look like:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/path/x/y/z"

where the path is path to folder where libgdkmm-2.4.so.1 is located.
