The Linux version of mdb require GTK 2.0 or above. Three executable packages are provided:
For .rpm packages just do (as root)
rpm -i package_name
See the README in mdb-0.1.1-0.i386.exe.tar.bz2 for
installation instructions for this package. Note you must
tar -xvjf mdb-0.1.1-0.i386.exe.tar.bz2
to decompress and untar the file first.
The default online manual is /usr/local/share/doc/mdb-0.1.1/mdb_doc.zip. You can change this (on Linux only) by setting the environmental variable MmsMdbDoc to the full path of the manual.
