Hi All,
Found an issue with the installation of MonoDevelop using the .bin
(all linux distributions) installer, for 1.2.6_6. (this may be in earlier
versions as well).
The monodevelop startup script in /bin/monodevelop is hardcoded to launch mono
from /usr/bin, and to expect monodevelop files hardcoded to
/usr/bin/lib/monodevelop/bin, however the installer by default installs to
/opt/mono-1.2.6, so this script needs to be changed.
First modification i did was to change
MD_BIN_PATH=/opt/mono-1.2.6/lib/monodevelop/bin on line 55.
The next one was to remove the hardcoded path to mono on lines 85, 91, 96, and
101, so that they just read mono -- ./MonoDevelop.exe $@, as it should be the
latest on the PATH anyway.
While this is not a universal solution, it may help those who need MonoDevelop
to run to get it working.
A more universal solution, for dual-mono scenarios, etc.. may be to add an
additional MD_BIN_PATH and a MONO_BIN to the .bashrc setup, and then reference
these directly inside the monodevelop startup script.
Note to the unwary: DO NOT change the install path to /usr to install in the
normal location. While this can run Ok, the un-install will vapourise half* the
linux install, including the gnome-terminal etc.., but not enough to let a
reinstallation work with any degree of ease.
*not a scientific measure. ;-)
Cheers,
Euan.
