[Mono-list] Dependency Problems on Red Carpet Channel?
Trying to install mono with Red Carpet on a new SuSE 9.1 Pro setup. This has always been a piece of cake. This time around Red Carpet complains that mono-complete has a failed dependency of mono-preview. Mono-complete is, I think, a new addition that apparently bundles all the runtime tools. There's another mono-devel package that apparently contains all the devlopment tools. Presumably, there isn't anything in either of these two packages that isn't contained in the individual packages listed in the channel. So...I can do a successful mono install by selecting everything else except mono-complete and mono-devel? Right? Thanks. ___ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
[Mono-list] monodoc bails, says can't find browser.exe
I've spent a few hours today building the source from the download page on a Slackware machine. All seems to have built correctly, after some chasing around. But, monodoc won't run, producing this error message: ** (browser.exe:16942): WARNING **: Could not find assembly gtkhtml- sharp, references from /usr/local/lib/monodoc/browser.exe (assemblyref_index=6) Major/Minor: 1,0 Build: 0,0 Token: 35e10195dab3c99f cannot open assembly browser.exe I built into /usr/local, and browser.exe is alive and well in /usr/local/lib/monodoc. Where does monodoc expect it be? Did I forget a PATH incantation? ___ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
Re: [Mono-list] monodoc bails, says can't find browser.exe
You're right. I added it with gacutil. Monodoc launches, but immediately crashes with an unhandled exception error. Sigh... It seems to be upset at gtkhtml. I'm using libgtkhtml-3.1 I built from source at ftp.gnome.org. Is that the appropriate version?

I picked up and started Sams C# Primer. It dates from 2001, but it seems to be taking a nice, slow, make-no-assumptions approach. Wrox books are full of obvious typoes, even in second editions and later. Who proofreads their stuff? ___ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

Yum on FC2 always bails out with dependency issues. I used Red Carpet to get it. Frankly, yum on Fedora is not easy enough for folks new to Linux, since it requires a knowledge of yum and how to edit yum.conf. You can never make it too easy, especially when you're trying to entice people to use something. Better to have one file that installs everything. Package an rpm for Fedora, an rpm for SUSE, etc. (And a tgz for Slackware would be really nice, since I've switched back to my ol' friend Slack after playing with Fedora and face the prospect of building it all from source.) That would make it a two-click install: one click to download, another click to install. Also offer the individual pieces for folks who need to do it their way.
