[Mono-list] Mono Installation Question

[Daniel Lopez]

Hi Kent,

I think RHAS is too old for the RH9 RPMs and the installer (which is based
on the RedHat RPMs) since it seems they reguire a newer version of glibc and
libgmodule than  is available on your system. Have you tried compiling from source?
You may still not have access to GUI development, but the server side of
things should be fine

Best regards

Daniel
