FYI, DBDesigner4 is built with Kylix so you'll need a few libs for the Linux version which are not distributed with the application.
For those of you that are having difficulty installing please reference below: extract DBDDesigner4.0.5.4.tar.gz to dir of choice extract kylixlibs3-borqt-3.0-2.tar.gz and ./install (located here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kylixlibs/kylixlibs3-borqt-3.0-2.tar.gz?download ) create a symlink: ln -s /usr/lib/kylix3/libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so /usr/lib/DBDesigner4/libborqt- 6.9-qt2.3.so run ./startdbd in the extracted DBDesigner4 dir NOTE: if app does not start check the ~/.DBDesigner4 for DBD4.log for any errors if errors with libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 arise search the package repository pertaining to your flavor of Linux containing libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 -OR- apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 Stay well, Honeyghan On 3/21/06, Ron Wheeler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Honeyghan wrote: > > I've been doing some research on various modeling tools which would > enable > > me to easily model databases for future flash projects.
