Hi again everyone.

So I've tried to install mono 1.1.3 - and I've finished up in a bigger 
mess than when I started.  Here's the problem

Firstly I checked the dependencies and find I have icu 2.6.1 as required 
and cairo 0.1.23 as stated.  Then I uninstalled the existing mono rpms 
and monodevelop.  This includes uninstalling monodoc, gecko-sharp, 
gtksourceview-sharp and gtk-sharp.  So we should be starting clean.

I got the 1.1.3 tarball, then as root untarred it, did configure, make, 
make install.  Everything's fine.

I then got the libgdiplus tarball, and as root did configure --- and it 
tells me, '"configure: error: "Did not find Cairo 0.1.22"'.  Worse still 
is that when I do, "mono --version" I get, "bash: /usr/bin/mono: No such 
file or directory".

So I now don't have any kind of working installation at all.  Can anyone 
help me out of this hole?  Please?

Cheers

Peter
