[Mono-list] Mono Beta1 and MonoDevelop on FC2 test 3 HOWTO

[John Ky]

Thankyou so much.  Using your instructions I have monodevelop
running for the first time after many many many previous failed
installation attempts on both Windows and Linux.

I really appreciate it.

I still have one little glitch.  When I try to view help, I get this:

Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: gtkhtml-3.0

But don't I already have gtkhtml installed?

[root@localhost monodevelop]# rpm -qa | grep gtkhtml
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.0.0-4.1
gtkhtml3-3.0.10-1
gtkhtml-1.1.9-8
gtkhtml-devel-1.1.9-8
gtkhtml2-2.6.0-1

Thanks
