mysql-workbench on Slackware 13.37 KDE error

Question

After many hours of installing various libraries on my Slackware 13.37 i managed to start mysql-workbench (but I was wrong). When launched from command line i get this warning:

bash-4.2# mysql-workbench
** Message: Gnome keyring daemon seems to not be available. Stored passwords will be lost once quit

the main program window appear and when i try to make a new connection i get this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/share/mysql-workbench/sshtunnel.py", line 14, in <module>
    import paramiko
ImportError: No module named paramiko

** (mysql-workbench-bin:2919): WARNING **: Tunnel manager could not be executed

and a popup appears:

Failed to Connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1:3306 with user root Cannot start SSH tunnel manager

mysql and ssh is installed and configured correctly:

bash-4.2# mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1
Server version: 5.5.24 MySQL Community Server (GPL)

bash-4.2# ssh -v
OpenSSH_6.0p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8x 10 May 2012

can someone help me please !!!

Answer 1

It tells you that the python-paramiko module is missing. It is a python module for SSH connections; apparently that is used by one of the MySQL Workbench features. Get the slackware package here and install it executing

sudo installpkg paramiko-1.7.6-noarch-1gds.txz

Good luck!

Answer 2

Good answer above. On 64 bit systems, you have to install specific 32 bit libraries for workbench to work. E.g I had to install 32 bit python alongside the 64 bit python. Also common errors include distribution specific errors. "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" not found, I created a soft link from /etc/my.cnf. Also had to create a folder at /root/.mysql/workbench/log for workbench to launch
