Problem with installing phpmyadmin

[psycovic23]

Well, I'm on Debian at the moment, and I installed phpmyadmin through apt-get, so I couldn't control where the install directory was. It ended up doing it in the /usr/share folder, but I thought an easy way to get past that was just to make a symlink in my localhost folder. Now, when I try and access the index.php for it, it gives me this

Warning: main(./libraries/grab_globals.lib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php on line 9

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './libraries/grab_globals.lib.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php on line 9

Well, I took a shot at trying to fix it by going into index.php and getting rid of the period and slash where it had the include function, so that it would include the right file. Now the error's gone, but nothing shows up.

New problem...When I select a database on the laptop where phpmyadmin is installed, everything works fine. If I select a db from phpmyadmin on another networked computer, nothing happens. It just sits at the index.php not doing anything.
