Configuring MySQL Workbench (GUI tool)

Well very recently I had  a real bad time configuring MySQL workbench on my system.
Whenever I try to connect to the database using the "Connection Manager", it displays the error "libmysqlclient_r.so" not found".

This happens to be a known bug in the workbench. Just dont linger around.... Simply create a soft link to the already existing libmysqlclient_r.so.16.0.0  or may be u have another version 15.0.0.

Just type:
 sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.16.0.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so


or if u have libmysqlclient 15.0.0 then 
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so


The worbench will work like  a charm.
