Hmm... mysql-query-browser - segmentation fault.

[Dan Thurman]

Hi Folks,

I noticed that the mysql-administrator was given in the
extras distribution but not the mysql-query-browser and
wondered why...

Seems that the sources given from MySQL org is that in
order to build it, it requires the gtkhtml v3.6 release
which is nowhere given in the extras development directory
nor installed in FC5 T3  There are other version but just
not v3.6 as it seems to require...

So I built the gtkhtml v3.6 release, installed it, and then
built the mysql-query-browser from MySQL latest source and
it appears that the configuration and the build for both
went through fine as far as I can tell.

But running mysql-query-browser produces a segmentation fault
and when I checked the /usr/bin/mysql-query-browser file, it
is a shell script... ok... and it uses a strange environment
variable called MQB_DIR....  dunno why.

Anyway - I did a strace from within the script and got the
following few lines:

I am just providing it for anyone who cares.
