You have to install all the mysql packages that comes for your distribution,
as it seems to divide it into two packages, one for the server itself and
another with the client tools.

If you built it from source, then you missed to enable the build of the front
end. Check your options used in configure with all the options available. As
you have compiled it yourself, keep in mind that you will break things with
the package manager of your distribution.

I suggest you compile it from source, as you already left the package manager
system behind you.

No, it's not the GUI version you got, thats the console client, go to
www.mysql.com and download the source for "mysql query browser".


And please fix your newsreader, it's rude to include footers when you reply.
