I'm not sure what it says about Novell if what you say is true. Rug is their recommended method after all, so if it doesn't work, especially on their own distribution (SuSE), they really ought to be looking at it. Maybe they are. The only problem I have with your suggestion is that I now have absolutely no idea what I have to remove or what to install. a) What should I uninstall? Do I have to use rug to do it, as I used rug to install at least some of the packages in the first place? Or should I use apt, or YaST, since I guess some of the packages were in the original 9.3 upgrade? b) Following the link you gave to the 9.3 packages leads me to 30 separate packages to install, or 5 zip files containing these 30 packages. Once I've got all these packages, which ones am I supposed to install and in what order? I suppose that I can at least take some consolation from the fact that I don't appear to be the only one having trouble. It does make you compare the installation experience with the equivalent for VS, doesn't it. VS does take a long time to install, and I have had the occasional problem with it, but nothing like this. And I've never had any trouble installing the .NET framework. It won't put me off from getting to grips with mono - but it may mean that I just use it as a runtime environment and not for development. I'd find that very sad. I've been trying to get a full mono 1.1.x installation with monodevelop now almost since the day 1.1 was released. :( Although I should perhaps note that the problem has always been with monodevelop. mono itself has always installed just fine and done exactly what it's supposed to do. However, I regard a decent IDE as very important. I know this isn't a view shared by everyone, but I much prefer to use a good IDE over a text editor, however sophisticated. Things like code completion and integrated debugging are important to me - perhaps because I have such a poor memory and write such buggy code :) Hopefully this doesn't sound overcritical. Mono is important to me and I want it to succeed. I recognise that there may be issues with my particular installation even though it is a brand new SuSE 9.3 install (via upgrade from 9.2), so there shouldn't be that many problems, should there? I also recognise that although I might be a tidy developer, I'm not a good or a knowledgeable sysadmin. So there may be wetware problems. However, I am happy to learn and to follow advice where I can. Unfortunately this hasn't got me a good install of monodevelop with mono 1.1.x yet.

RE: [Mono-list] MonoDevelop 0.7
I bought SuSE 9.1 Pro for around $90, and then, shortly thereafter, paid another $60 to upgrade to SuSE 9.2 Pro, just to get Mono 1.0 instead of Mono 0.3 (which was working perfectly until I tried to upgrade to Mono 1.1.x). I see SuSE 9.3 now has Mono 1.1.x, but I've already paid them what I would have paid for Windows XP that has been out for several years now and the upgrades (service packs) are free. Yes, it's tempting to try to upgrade for free. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with the upgrade without monodevelop. I'm just cautioning people to explain the consequences of trying to upgrade, in case someone is particularly relying on monodevelop to keep functioning. In my case, I can get along fine without it until I'm ready to pay Novell for another upgrade to SuSE 9.2 Pro. I have three Window XP machines and three Windows 2003 Server machines, so it's not like I bought SuSE instead of Windows. I'm learning a lot more about C# and .NET by using Linux than I would by strictly using Windows. This is not a complaint about Mono. I'm a little upset with Novell for charging so much for SuSE. They should offer free upgrades on minor versions. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of peter Sent: Sunday, May 22, 2005 3:16 PM To: mono-list@lists.ximian.com Subject: Re: [Mono-list] MonoDevelop 0.7 Carl Olsen wrote: >I'm just going to live with the fact that monodevelop isn't going to run on >My SuSE 9.2 Pro now that I've upgraded to Mono 1.1.7.

I am going to try to package Gtk# 2 (which is the only piece missing for you to get 0.7, which works really well) on SUSE 9.2. Hopefully that would make things easier for you. You could try building gtk# and everything up from there from source. I don't know why MonoDevelop breaks with 1.1.7.

I realize this stuff is still under heavy development. I started running Mono on Red Hat 8 and 9, but it was just too much trouble to keep up.

I'm not sure I'd install the mini, even if I knew what it was. I can wait for the full release. The forum you recommended said the full version of 9.3 Pro had not been released yet, so I'll watch for it. I can certainly wait a few months to get monodevelop back up and running again. I only had 9.1 for a few months, and then 9.2 for a few months, and they already have a retail upgrade out for 9.3. Of course, if I had known I could upgrade for free, I wouldn't have complained about it. For what I'm doing, 9.2 and Mono 1.1.7 are working great, so far.

Probably what happened is that the .so version of libgkthml changed (the gtkhtml team thinks that nobody uses their code other than evo and that they thus are not bound to an ABI). You probably need to use the packages for a different version of the SUSE distro with your version of gtkhtml. -- Ben ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

RE: [Mono-list] MonoDevelop 0.7
Back onto point a bit here. I have noticed a couple recurring trends. #1) People who use the installer, and not the rpms, and then install gtk# 1.9.5 into a *different* prefix than the installer, and then install MD seem to have the most issues. To me, and Daniel can correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that people using the installer don't seem to understand that if you don't install mono stuff into the same prefix as mono, you need to mung things like MONO_GAC_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc. Maybe this is something that should be put into some sort of HOWTO for the installer. #2) People assume that MD not loading with the DllNotFoundException are related to MD. That is just not the case. Any application that actually attempting to use those libraries would die the same way. MonoDevelop just happens to be a non-toy application, so it exposes the issues in your setup right away. I would recommend for people who are having issues installing MonoDevelop look into how their mono prefix and gtk# prefixes are setup, as that seems to be the #1 cause of all of these problems. Mixing RPMS w/ tarballs w/ installers is not something that should be done lightly and indiscriminately. --Todd ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

You are correct. The original purpose of the installer was more of a runtime than using it for development purposes. All the MONO_GAC_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH "magic" happens in /bin/mono, which is a shell script that sets the environment before executing Mono. If people are compiling stuff against what is included, we need to make it more explicit, add that to the installer Mini-FAQ in the website, maybe include it as a README. The installer, however, includes GTK# support, I believe he needs to properly setup PKG_CONFIG_PATH to also point to /lib/pkgconfig This week I plan to set aside some time and have a new build that includes MonoDevelop support. > I would recommend for people who are having issues installing > MonoDevelop look into how their mono prefix and gtk# prefixes are setup, > as that seems to be the #1 cause of all of these problems. Mixing RPMS > w/ tarballs w/ installers is not something that should be done lightly > and indiscriminately. I agree. I think all this comes from people trying all different installation methods in their frustration to get things set up :) A lot of people come from a Windows background, so this imposes much more work on us packagers to make sure everything "just works". This is even more difficult than, say, Java runtime, because of the dependencies all over the place (gtk, gtkhtml, gecko, etc.). But we will get there, it just comes from using a state-of-the-art platform like Mono ;) Un saludo Daniel ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

At the moment, all I know is that I can't get monodevelop to run under mono 1.1.7. I don't know why and I don't know how to fix it. I've posted all the information I know about. If I need to post some more, I'd be more than happy to do so - or to repost what I've already posted. Usual caveats about my own shortcomings apply.

Re: [Mono-list] MonoDevelop 0.7
Not to add flame to fire, what I did was used dag rpm repositories to do apt-get (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt), which installed mono develop .5 in 1 step. yum would also work I assume. I have no idea how to install red carpet on fedora. Since I could not figure out how to make .7, I started using X-develop, it support mono and glade, and I wrote a few simple programs. If the ide is stable, it easier to write. I also develop in vi sometimes, just to learn. Mono is great. Not sure if mono-develop is or will be great, so don't spend to much time on it is my advice. .V (ps still not sure about how to deploy a run time of mono cross platform) ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

The MonoDevelop rpms on go-mono.com have been updated to fix this. The Linux Installer has also been updated. Wade On Mon, 2005-09-12 at 10:45 +1000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Running Mono 1.1.9.
