[Mono-list] Mono 1.0 Beta 2 and Macos X

[Matthew Graham]

Hi,

First let me say that I am new to Mono. Anyhow, I downloaded the Beta
2.dmg for MacOS X and installed it on a fresh MacOS distribution. A couple
of issues, however:


(i) From the release notes, I had read: "we are pleased to release the
result of their efforts, MonoDevelop with Mono 1.0 Beta 2..." but when I
look in the package, there is no MonoDevelop. Do I have to download the
source code separately and compile it?


(ii) XSP: I downloaded and successfully built XSP 0.14; however, when I
start the server (from the xsp-0.14/test directory) and point my browser
(Safari) to localhost:8080, I get error messages on the browser display: 

Server error in '/' application

Description: Error processing request.

Error Message: HTTP 500.

Stack Trace:

and also on the command line window:

(iii) Monodoc: I download Monodoc 0.16 and want to try the web version, so
following instructions, cd browser/web and mono xsp.exe. Now the error on
the browser is:

Server Error in '/' Application

Parser Error
Description: Error parsing a resource required to service this request.
Review your source file and modify it to fix this error.

Error message: Assembly monodoc not found

File name: /Users/mjg/Projects/mono/monodoc-0.16/browser/web/monodoc.ashx

Line: 1

Source Error:

<%@ WebHandler Language="c#" class="Mono.Website.Handlers.MonodocHandler"
%>
<%@ Assembly name="monodoc" %>

#define MONODOC_PTREE


I have to say that the distinct lack of any kind of support
documentation, especially for 1.0beta 2 release, really does put me off
using Mono. However, any help would be most welcome.
