Compiling MySQL Workbench on Ubuntu 13.04

Question

I am having problems compiling MySQL Workbench on Ubuntu 13.04. I downloaded the source from the MySQL site and during the configure part where it checks the dependencies it says:

checking for python2.6... no
checking for python2.7... yes
checking for Python libraries... not found
configure: error: Python C development headers/libraries not found

I than tried to hack and modify the configure file and removed the part where it checked for the Python headers.

By doing that the checks succeeds and I can run make , but during make process it says it cannot find Python.h (which is expected):

python_context.h:28:21: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

So I searched the installation directory of Python 2.7 and found Python.h . I searched all over the Internet, but couldn't find an answer how to solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

It cannot find the so file. I'm not sure what the proper solution is, but the following works around it:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so

But after all of that, I got (unrelated) compile errors, so I gave up, and just went with the slightly outdated packages from Ubuntu.

Answer 2

Ubunto 13.04: Desinstale o mysql-workbench instalado: $ sudo apt-get -f upgrade

Instale o python-dev: $ sudo apt-get install python-dev

Instale via terminal o workbench: $ sudo apt-get install mysql-workbench

Para mim funcionou.
