Bug Description

Setting up a new 12.04 VM in VMWare Fusion 4.1. apt-get installed package mdbtools, which seems to be working. Then installed mdbtools-gmdb, which seemed to install without error. However when I try to run it several errors are returned and the program doesn't load.

Error stream:

Hi Eli

Also stuck with the same error and did a bit of digging. Seems that the re should be more links.

Found that this workaround that does the job and MDB viewer does open without to much errors afterwards.

Bug report : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gurlchecker/+bug/973673/

" A possible workaround (for x86_64 systems):
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libglade/2.0/libbonobo.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglade/2.0/libbonobo.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libglade/2.0/libcanvas.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglade/2.0/libcanvas.so
