The issue with downloading 2.15.1 is Qt3 as this is unavailable in
Debian 8 or unstable. So I need to compile from github master, which has
Qt4 support. However the master branch seems to have removed the
functionality of creating the DB if it is not present.

The result is the same - Couldn't open MySQL connection on "localhost"
when running rdadmin. Unfortunately there is no more detail then that.
