Getting mysql gui tools working on ubuntu 7.10

I had three hurdles to get over to get mysql gui tools to work.

1. My first problem was that I got the error

 /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

when I tried running mysql-administrator

This was because my mounted directory did not have exec permissions. Adding 'exec to the row in /etc/fstab, then umount & mount solved this.

 /dev/hdb1       /media/d_drive  auto    rw,user,exec  0       0

2. My next problem was the following error:

./mysql-administrator

(mysql-administrator-bin:7476): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path:  "ubuntulooks",
Fontconfig warning: line 32: unknown element "cachedir"
Fontconfig warning: line 33: unknown element "cachedir"
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/80-delicious.conf", line 18: invalid match target "scan"
./mysql-administrator-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libbonoboui-2.so.0: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_impl

I eventually found this. The fix is right at the end.
To cut a long story short.

cd to where you have unpacked the gui tools
mv lib lib_
& if
/etc/mysql/conf.d does not exist
mkdir /etc/mysql/conf.d

3. My third and hopefully last problem was that I could not connect to localhost:3306
However I could connect to 127.0.0.1:3306
My /etc/hosts looked like this.

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       billspc

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

I am not sure if this is a good fix but the cure was to comment out the line

#::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

IntelliJ Live Templates for Eclipse

D you miss all those IntelliJ Templates when in Eclipse.

If so, then go thekua.com for all the instructions you need.

UnitTest and spring-mock or spring-test

I have just installed spring 2.5.1

I wanted to create some unit tests and all the sites I found referred to spring-mock.jar.

It is now spring-test.jar.

You will find it in the directory spring-framework-2.5.1/dist/modules after you have extracted the zip. I downloaded spring-framework-2.5.1-with-dependencies.zip although I see they have gone to 2.5.2 already.
