Difficulty Setting up TOra to work with MySQL (RPMs)

[Saqib Ali]

I have set up MySQL on my machine and can successfully use it.
However, I'm trying to set up TOra so that I can browse the databases
effectively. I'm having lots of trouble trying to get TOra to work
with MySQL.
Please take a look at the notes below and please let me know why I'm
having trouble and how to fix it.....

Thanks

I try to install tora-mysql:

[root@localhost]# rpm -i tora-mysql-alpha-1.3.5-1gc-glibc22.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
tora = 1.3.5 is needed by tora-mysql-1.3.5-1gc
mysql-shared is needed by tora-mysql-1.3.5-1gc
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It complains that I need to have TOra 1.3.5 installed as well as
mysql-shared.
Fair enough. I make sure that TOra 1.3.14 is installed (which is newer
that 1.3.5):
[root@localhost]# rpm -i tora-alpha-1.3.5-1static.i686.rpm
package tora-1.3.14.1-1 (which is newer than
tora-1.3.5-1static) is already installed

[root@localhost]# rpm -i tora-1.3.14.1-1.i386.rpm
warning: tora-1.3.14.1-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID
30c9ecf8
package tora-1.3.14.1-1 is already installed

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I make sure that mysql-shared is already installed:

[root@localhost]# rpm -i MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0.i386.rpm
warning: MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key
ID 5072e1f5
package MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 is already installed

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yet, I still cannot install tora-mysql (see below). Why??? It
certainly seems like I have already installed the dependencies.

[root@localhost]# rpm -i tora-mysql-alpha-1.3.5-1gc-glibc22.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
tora = 1.3.5 is needed by tora-mysql-1.3.5-1gc
mysql-shared is needed by tora-mysql-1.3.5-1gc
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh yeah, TOra doesn't even start up:

[root@localhost]# tora
tora: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available
(required by tora)
tora: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: no version information available
(required by tora)
tora: relocation error: tora: undefined symbol:
_ZN12KCmdLineArgs4initEiPPcPKcS3_S3_S3_b
Why can't I install tora-mysql successfully? What to I need to do to
get it installed??

Looks like another instance of Linux being unable to run an binary built
on a different version of glibc than the one you're running on your
machine. The Linux industry seems to create one of these SNAFUs every
couple of years.

This isn't my area of experience, but the solution seems to be rebuild
everything on your system from source, or else keep searching through
the Linux newsgroups until you find someone who suggests a patch or
other hack that fixes it.

Sorry, these types of problems are no fun.

I agree! :-(

I found some sites with people discussing this issue, and similar issues
in the past. I searched Google and Google Groups with phrases like:
"no+version+information+available" combined with various words like gcc,
libc, libstdc++, libstdc++.so.

There might be some combination of down-grading some components on your
system until you get the right versions of libraries that will work with
this product. Or maybe just downgrade tora to the latest stable release
(1.3.14 is alpha).

Good luck...
