The above sounds like you've installed bits via redcarpet and bits from
source. If you haven't, have you tried running monodevelop from the
command line and see (and report!) the throwback from it? Also, what
errors is redcarpet throwing back?
No. I installed from the SuSE disks, then updated from Red Carpet, but
it all went pear shaped. I posted some stuff and had some help from
this group at the time, but never got everything working (this included
posting the command line output). That's one of the reasons why I'm
going for a clean reinstall
Um, are you dual booting? If you're not, why bother with a FAT32
partition? Wouldn't SAMBA be a far more efficient solution?
I'm dual booting. Also see below about what I'm trying to do.
I have a basic one: mono/mcs, monodevelop, monodoc, gtksharp,
libgdiplus, gtksourceview-sharp, gtkmozembed-sharp. To be honest, I very
rarely use monodevelop - emacs is far more usable IMO (but then I use
emacs over a IDE all the time)
I'm not too worried about monodevelop, but I'd like to try it. What I'm
really interested in is testing/proving the cross-platform capabilities
of mono, so I'll be doing things like developing in VS and then trying
to run the result under mono. That kind of thing.
From source. I would *always* recommend from source unless the person
does not feel technically up to the task in which case, red carpet has
the most up to date versions (usually)
Thanks
that, let it do the install. It actually makes no difference if you
install Apache as part of the full install or after - it does make a
difference though if you want to install mod_mono as you need it at any
point *before* installing mod_mono. Again, choice is yours where to
install from, but I would suggest choosing one installer system (YaST or
RedCarpet for SuSE) and sticking to it.
I'm not sure I understood that, Paul. Are you just saying that I need
Apache before I can install mod_mono. If so, then thanks, yes, I
understand that.
You just need to ask. If you want to go the sources route, then I'll
direct you to the fountain of all knowledge which the Mono people still
haven't established a link to but is hammered by new users!
I'm grateful to you, Paul. I'm going to try to pull together all the
advice I get and then make a decision based on that. If the first
decision turns out to be a lemon, then I'll try the next, until I get it
cracked. I'm happy to invest some (of my own) time to get this sorted.
Cheers
Peter
