[...] a pain in the ass? After reading the forums and stumbling upon xyzzyxyzzy’s awesome script, I decided to make it easier on all us Mono/.NET [...]

The issue that Magnuz — March 5, 2009 @ 20:01 had with mono-tools (invalid ResX input) … check out:

http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_Winforms#GDIPlus_Initializer_Exception

libgdiplus is installed, but cannot be found (not in his LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

A universal simple fix is to put “sudo ldconfig -v” after the “make install” for libgdiplus

I found putting the “sudo ldconfig -v” at the end also made things rum smoothly without having to modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/local/lib

Seems the failures with mono-tools and mono-debugger in Intrepid are fixed if libncurses5-dev is installed first, and possibly mono-debugger is installed before mono-tools. Also, unzip needs to be installed in Intrepid.

Thanks for a great script! A minor typo: cd mono-debugger-2.0 Should be: cd mono-debugger-2.2 Trying to use the script to install on Intrepid results in failures on: make mono-tools (invalid ResX input) and : configure mono-debugger (directory termcap not found) But Mono 2.2 runs well enough for my purpose, an OpenSimulator server, without those parts.

hmm... it should install mono-2.2, really. looking at the script show this:

tar xvf $DLDDIR/mono-2.2.tar.bz2
cd mono-2.2
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-large-heap=yes
make
sudo make install
cd $BUILDDIR

i've updated the script.

oops...link was pointing somewhere but not at the script. fixed now. sorry about that!

you also might want to use --with-large-heap=yes for the mono configure invocation.

Ah! although the archives do seem to still be pointing to 2.0 in this script, still very useful though!
