[Mono-osx] Mono Develop not running on Mac OS X Leopard

[Norbert Pausch]

Hello,

it is impossible for me to get Mono Develop running on my Mac Mini  
(Leopard). I had several attempts now. At least I deleted all mono  
files on my system and did a new download and installing procedure.

But the system still does not work properly:

-the installation does not put the icon for monodvelop in the Finder  
so it has to be started via the command monodevelop in the bin  
directory.

-syntax highlighting ist not working with vb source files

-syntax error indicating via underlining is not working in vb source  
code

-the system classes are not visible in the IDE

-new lines in vb source code cannot be inserted by pressing enter,  
only the line numbers are incremented, no lines are inserted

-a warning for missing environment-variable Mozilla_Home is appearing

Is this the way it should work? What am I doing wrong? What can I do  
to get the system running? The compiler itself is working. A short  
example application could be compiled and was running. So it should be  
possible to manage the strange "behavoiur".
My system is new an there is no exotic Software besides the Standard  
installed (NeoOffice, JEdit). Btw java applications install and behave  
very well. Is Java the only remaining architecture for cross platform  
computing?

Kind regards

Norbert
