Hi!
First of all, use static binary for Linux.
Second, follow instructions from README. Here is a relevant excerpt :
This is a small README, which is intended for a first installation of the
binary version of the mysqlgui GUI client program. (If you are using a
source distribution, you will find all the information needed for building
mysqlgui in the INSTALL.TXT file, located in the doc subdirectory.)
The binary distribution includes a mysqlgui executable program, a help
file MySQL.help, and example configuration files.
If this package is labeled semi-static and you have problems starting
mysqlgui, please download, install, and try a static version instead.
Beginning with mysqlgui version 1.7.0, all you have to do to install the
binary version is unpack it and copy the executable to some directory
named in your PATH setting. You may also want make a link or shortcut
to mysqlgui and place it on your desktop or in some menu.
When you start mysqlgui for the first time, you'll need to tell it how to
connect to the MySQL server. To do this, click on the ``Options'' button.
Select the ``Server'' tab and fill in the fields that indicate where to
find the server. On Unix, if you have problems with mysqlgui not knowing
the location of the socket file for connections to localhost, enter the
full pathname of the socket file in the ``SQL command on the start-up''
field. On Windows, this field is used if you wish to specify the named pipe
option. Then select the ``Client'' tab and fill in your MySQL user name.
Take care to select the right value for the ``Ask for password'' button,
depending on whether or not you want mysqlgui to prompt you for your
MySQL password. After you have filled in the server and client values,
click on the ``Save'' button. From then on, each time mysqlgui starts up,
it will connect to the MySQL server automatically.
