[MonoDevelop] Monodevelop install problem on mac

[Paul Varnish]

which worked !

(I'm guessing I must have downloaded Mono some time back when the old

Many thanks.

Hmmmmm, did you try to delete your ~/.config/Monodevelop folder?

Note that I don't know if this would actually work for you.

I would advise to rename your folder to something else instead of
deleting it so you can revert it back.

I hope it helps.
