help monodevelop

[ronin1982]

Hi , i'm trying to install monodevelop 0.12 for mono, but it gives me some errors. I read all related topics on this forum but none of them helped me.
I know that on extras repos i can find monodevelop 0.11 but i want to install 0.12 from novell.
I removed old mono (0.11) and tried to install the new one but....it gives me some weird error:

Error: Missing Dependency: mono-core = 1.1.18-0.novell is needed by package mono-winforms
Error: Missing Dependency: mono-core = 1.1.18-0.novell is needed by package mono-data

Error: Missing Dependency: mono-core = 1.1.18-0.novell is needed by package mono-data-sqlite

Before this i installed mono-core with command : yum --disablerepo=extras install mono

use the monodevelop repo...

[mono]
name=Mono for fedora-5-i386 (stable)
baseurl=http://go-mono.com/download-stable/fedora-5-i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

[ronin1982]

that's what i'm using. I'm even disabled extras repo to be sure that there are no issues between repos but no luck.....
any help is appreciated ...thanks

[code_astronomer]

what did you actually try?

try this:

yum update monodevelop

if that doesn't work, try removing mono and then installing it again.

yum remove monodevelop && yum install monodevelop

[ronin1982]

tried that , but installs monodevelop 0.11
as i said , i'm trying to install monodevelop 0.12
thanks again.

[code_astronomer]

are you sure you have the mono repo in the right place? (i.e. /etc/yum.repos.d/)
double check mono.repo is in that directory...

ls /etc/yum.repos.d

what repos do you have installed?

also, don't disable your extras repo ... there is no need to...

This is how I upgraded my version of monodevelop

[ronin1982]

i'm getting pretty tired of this.....
so yes, mono.repo is in the right place
reinstalled mono 1.1.18 + monodevelop 0.11
when i'm doing yum update monodevelop says:

what is weird is that is says
---> Package mono-core.i386 0:1.1.13.7-2.fc5.1 set to be updated
but when i do : yum list installed mono-core says:
---> Package mono-core.i386 0:1.1.13.7-2.fc5.1 set to be updated

that's weird
Thank's again

[ronin1982]

sorry ,say this
mono-core.i586 1.1.18-0.novell installed
so i do'nt know what is the problem

[code_astronomer]

I have: mono-core.i586 1.1.18-0.novell

hmm...try

yum install mono

or even

yum remove mono && yum install mono

I 'm sure this is how I upgraded, so you should be able to do the same if you have the same repos.
I also have livna...but I don't remember if anything came from there to help with deps...the mono-core should come from the mono repo.

You could always download the mono-core rpm from www.mono-project.com (http://www.go-mono.com/download-stable/fedora-5-i386/) and use yum localinstall to install it.

[ronin1982]

well ,right now i removed mono-core + monodevelop and i'm installing mono-core from extras,
vers 1.1.13.
If works to install monodevelop 0.12 i will say it.Until then thank's.

[ronin1982]

so, no luck in here.....
if you know a way to install monodevelop 0.12 in fc5 i'm all years...
Thanks.

[ronin1982]

so, for all that have problems installing monodevelop 0.12 in fc5 this is the solution:
http://www.gotmono.com/cgi-bin/yabb/...num=1148145660
The easiest way I have explained to people in the past to install Mono on Fedora is to go to the mono-downloads page. Download all .zip packages. and do the following.

1. Unzip all rpms from the mono.zip to a empty folder.
2. From your terminal window change directories to that folder and then run: rpm -Uvh *.rpm
3. If you get depenency errors you may add --nodeps
ex: rpm -Uvh *.rpm --nodeps


Next do the same with webserver.zip, devtools.zip, gtk-sharp-2.0.zip, if you already have gtk-sharp-1.0 installed then there is no need to re-download gtk-sharp-1.0.zip, since there have no been no changes.


If you get any error message saying package already installed, then go find the package in the directory you unzipped to and delete it, and the run the rpm command again.
Good luck to all!!!

strange. I have done all the same you are doing (used mono repo) and all worked.
one thing, I might have used yum as:
yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=mono install mono-core monodevelop

dunno if this helps.

Make sure that gtk-sharp2-devel is installed. By default on my fedora core 6 box it wasn't (just gtk-sharp2). So you need to type
yum install gtk-sharp2-devel

and then all will be well. I posted this earier in another thread

I also run into dependency problems yesterday installing mono from mono-repo under fc6.

turns out fc6 has some newer versions (gtk-viewsource, gtk-sharp, gtk-sharp2, etc...) which obscures installation from mono-repo, which requiere EXACT (not highter) versions. for instance, gtk-sharp 2.8.0, etc...

I downloaded all rpm's from mono-repo and used yum/rpm -q a lot to figure dependencies. I removed quite a bit of packages (they were not providing to anything but mono iteself) and narrowed down dependencies to just one - mozilla.

fc6 has new, firefox-2 browser, which no more uses mozilla package, as fc5 did. In principle, mozilla package can be arranged as well, but that will be some job, for it requieres a looong list of dependencies.

options:

fc6
1 try to force installation of mono-repo-rpm's violating mozilla dependency
2. install from extra repo (this works, but gives me some minor MonoQuery.addin error). I have not checked much, but my old Hello World gtk script also produced errors.
3. something more desparate, like compiling from sources.

4. go back to fc5 and use mono-repo.
