Re: Mono on Fedora Core 5

I am sure I didn't mix SuSe with FC5. I am not using the mono rpm
downloaded directly. I put mono.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d as
indicated on the URL:
http://www.go-mono.com/download-latest/fedora-5-i386/

The content of the mono.repo is shown below.

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

So I think using Software Updater will install the latest mono.

Why do I need a higher version of mono, and which version of mono? I
don't understand the exact meaning of the output from the Software
Updater and yum. Can anybody kindly provide an explanation or give me
a reference so that I can read by myself?

Thanks!

I am running FC5 on VMware Player on Windows XP. I just installed it
several days ago and did some updates such as gtk and Firefox using
Software Updater.

I put mono.repo (direct to the stable release) in /etc/yum.repos.d/
directory and use Software Updater to install mono. That's fine and I
can compile and run .NET app in a termial.

Then I downloaded monodevelop-0.11-0.novell.noarch.rpm. When I install
it, I will get an error resolving dependencies:

Missing Dependency: mono(gtk-sharp) = 2.4.0.0 is needed by package
monodevelop

gtksourceview-sharp2

And I try to use yum to get som information about mono and gtk.

Is it because MonoDevelop depends on a lower version of gtk while I
have updated gtk to a higher version? Is there any way to resolve
this?

Thanks!

Blackpuppy,


It looks like you need a higher version of mono.

Are trying to mix SuSe rpms with FC5 rpms? This sometimes leads to
version mismatches, because SuSe and Red Hat have different channels to
the community. Sometimes SuSe gets the new version before Red Hat or
visa versa.


Kind regards,
