[Mono-list] Latest Mono and MonoDevelop packages for CentOS, Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu on OBS

Fri Aug 2 07:12:17 UTC 2013

Hello Mark,

thanks for contacting me on this.
It was my mistake: I did reorganize the packages yesterday, and forgot
to add the dependancy for mono-opt-devel to the monodevelop-opt
package.
I have fixed it on OBS, it will be part of the next release.

I saw the same problems you had, but this line fixed it:
yum install mono-opt-devel

Then MonoDevelop starts fine from the application menu, which is
referencing the script /usr/bin/monodevelop-opt:
export PATH=/opt/mono/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin;export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mono/lib:; /opt/monodevelop/bin/monodevelop

I have recently included a script /opt/mono/env.sh which sets the
paths as well, for using mono in general.

Here the versions that I have used for CentOS, and it works for me:
[root at j56980 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
[root at j56980 ~]# rpm -qa  | grep mono
mono-opt-devel-3.2.0-12.1.x86_64
dejavu-sans-mono-fonts-2.30-2.el6.noarch
liberation-mono-fonts-1.05.1.20090721-5.el6.noarch
mono-opt-3.2.0-12.1.x86_64
mono-libgdiplus-opt-3.0.12-6.7.x86_64
monodevelop-opt-4.0.10-7.2.x86_64

Please let me know if that works, or if you still get errors.

Thank you for letting me know!

All the best,
   Timotheus

I'm sending a friendly email letting you know neither mono or monodevelop work. Mono can be fixed by putting it in the path. Monodevelop blows up because of the shell script. The case for the executable is wrong and there are other issues. Finally when I bore down to the executable and run it I get this output

I was very close but the procedure takes a couple of tedious hours as far as I got. Actually I built it and it runs but I had to change some csharp code to do it. I turned it in as a bug but since you were building it I decided the bug couldn't be right. So Im looking at the version of gtk Im building. With a higher version the code bug is still there so I don't know.
