Its very simple to install this great application on Ubuntu, i m using the 6.06 Dapper Drake version of Ubuntu, but it should work on any other version, so lets see how to install it:
First of all you need to download the DBDesigner package, you can get it from here:
http://fabforce.net/downloads.php
Grab the rpm version.
After downloading this file you will need alien to convert it to .deb, if you don't have it installed, just type this on a terminal:
sudo apt-get install alien
Now, go to where you downloaded the rpm package and install it using:
sudo alien -i DBDesigner4-0.5.4-0.i586.rpm
And now the trick to get it working, if you try to open the DBDesigner it will give you an error saying that it cant open the shared library libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so, to fix it do the following:
First Download the library package and extract it using:
tar xzvf kylixlibs3-borqt-3.0-2.tar.gz
After extracting it do the following:
sudo cp kylixlibs3-borqt/libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so /lib/libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so
Now your DBDesigner should be working, the executable file DBDesigner4 can be found at /opt/DBDesigner
Hope it helps!

I got installed by the gui looks a bit off. Like some of the tabs aren't big enough for the text on them. It's almost like it's using a wrong gui lib or something. Any ideas?
I've got exactly the same issue.
Excellent
It's Alive, Alive...
Thanks for this quick and easy setup.
J'adore quand un plan se déroule sans accrocs !
Merci

Great! It's work perfectly!
Thanks.
Hi, Thanks for the explqnations. Actually; I think it's easier to use wine and the windows installer, see the details on my blog

Thank's !
works great :-)
I try to use MySQL Workbench - i get install it, but too many problems after.
So finding your howto I try .. and now all works great :-)
Grande, funziona benissimo!
Decisamente meglio DBDesigner che MySQL Workbench.
Howto semplicissimo.
Grazie ;-)
thanks for the tip..
Thanx, for your help
but, just one small thing if you want to make a shortcut right clic on the descktop
create a launcher and add '/opt/DBDesigner4/DBDesigner4'.
just change the font to verdana 6, looks good to me
option - dbdesigner option- visual option
To change the font to Verdana you need to install Microsoft Fonts (sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts).
Or you can use Helvetica 10 (looks better to me)
Some more problems on UBUNTU gutsy gibbon ...
After successful running App by this howto I spotted this while connecting DB:
"unable to load libmysqlclient.so"
Not to mention I have the lib. It's incompatibility issue. Symlink /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so points to so.15 and DBDesigner ships with so.10. It can be solved by replacing library name in:
~/.DBDesigner4/DBConn_DefaultSettings.ini
~/.DBDesigner4/DBConn.ini
FROM VendorLibLinux=libmysqlclient.so
TO VendorLibLinux=libmysqlclient.so.10
The problem remains unfortunately. The libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0 privided with DBDesigner is somehow incompatible with the app (?!).
The version downloaded from :
http://www.wesmo.com/rpm2html/contributed/RPMS/MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.9-0.i386.html
finally did the trick. I extracted 'libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0' from RPM , copied to /usr/lib, created a symlink /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10 pointing to it and then it started.
Thanks a lot, helped immediatly ^^
Thx for your explanations. It helped me a lot.
Fantastic. Got it up and running on Ubuntu Gutsy. FYI: the libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so file DBDesigner looks for, comes out of the zip file now as libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so
I just had to remove the (.0) and all was well.
Thanks!

THX A LOT !
i almost went mad with this on ubuntu gutsy, but i finally managed it with the old version of libmysqlclient.so like you described.
Last Step is setting Password the old style in mysql console.
mysql>SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('something');
THx for your help
Hi folks,
anyone has tested this howto on amd64 systems? j'm tryed and dbDesigners doesn't work...
libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
j think that the KylixLibs doesn't run in amd64 system.
Thank you in advance
Thanks!
thx - i love you!
Perfeito também no Ubuntu 10.04! Parabéns meu caro.
Got the following error
"Unable to load libsqlmy.so"
while trying to connect mysql.....
Thanks in advance.
Thanks a lot, exactly what I was looking for!!!
Hi folks!
If you encounter the error:
libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
when running a 64bits distro despite you followed the last step of the installation, it's because DBD4 runs in 32bits mode.
I tried:
$ strace DBDesigner4 2> strace.log
And found where it was looking up the libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so file.
In my case, I just created a symbolic link in /lib32/ to sort it out.
TKS !!!
great. worked :)
