Well, to get all of Mono, I would say that you should install the latest version of each of those RPMs. The key decision of course is if you are running on i386 (32 bit) or x86_64 (64 bit). Use the appropriate directory to get the RPMs that you need. If all you need is to run a Windows Forms app, you might be able to get away with just mono-addon-core, mono-addon-winforms, and mono-addon-libgdiplus. Personally, I always build from source on my RHEL systems. http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono_From_Git To get the latest stable release of Mono just change 'git checkout mono-2-6' to 'git checkout mono-2-10' instead. One of the biggest advantages of building from source is that you can get the latest bug fixes without having to wait for a new release. Just do the following at any time from the 'mono' source directory as 'root': Type 'git pull' at the command line to pull down any changes to the code since your last build Type './autogen.sh -prefix=/usr/local && make && make install' to install your updates. Change '/usr/local' to wherever you want to install Mono. This is the path they suggest in the instructions. If you have done 'git checkout mono-2-10' earlier in the process (even during a previous session) then you will only pull down bug fixes and updates to Mono 2.10. If not, you are following the development trunk (the unreleased next version of Mono-currently 2.11) and may see changes in functionality or other breakages. The first time you build Mono it might be a bit of a hassle to install all the dependencies. After that though you can rebuild it with the two simply command-lines above. When you install from source, you get pretty much everything from the single git repo (inlcuding Windows Forms) so there is a lot less to worry about. Notable exceptions are 'xsp' and 'mod_mono' which are required to serve ASP.NET applications and GTK# which you might want to create (or run) GTK+ GUI apps. These are also available from GitHub though. The biggest pain is compiling 'libgdiplus' as it requires a bunch of dependencies that you may not have installed. It is simple enough to use 'yum' to grab them though and you only need to install the dependencies only once. 'libgdiplus' is an implementation of the Windows GDI+ graphics layer and requires the development libraries for a bunch of image manipulation stuff (JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, EXIF, etc). I do not remember anymore everything that was required. It will tell you though if something is missing. Mono itself does not require much. I think that 'bison', 'gettext', and 'gcc' are the three big things you will need for that. GCC is of course the compiler. Hard to build much without that. -- View this message in context: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/How-to-install-Mono-2-10-2-on-RHEL5-tp3602025p3602957.html Sent from the Mono - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
