Stable RedHat mono package

New to Linux and mono.  Looking for a newest stable version of RedHat
mono.  

I found a mono-1.9.1_2-installer.bin from web.  Installed it and it
seems work on a simple Xdevelop Forms apps I wrote.  When I wrote a
simple MonoDevelop 2.2 Beta 1 Forms apps, it run fine on Windows but
won't run on RedHat (ver 2.6 I believe).  It will fail when I do this
"mono MyApps.exe" (which works for a similar Xdevelop apps).  NOTE: I
set the MONO_PATH=".../mono-1.9.1/lib" directory.  Thus I would like to
start from getting the newest stable RedHat mono package first.

Thanks,
Jerry

I'm not sure where the latest packages are, but 1.9.1 is a pretty old
version of mono.  Mono 2.6 is in testing right now and should be
released in the not too distant future.  There has been a lot of
develop and updates since 1.9.1 and that might explain why its not
working.  Does the console give you any output?

Cheers,
Stephen

Yes.  As below.  

(1) I feel that it is important to get the right version.  So checked web.  Is it correct
that I can try to get those mono 2.4.2.3 sources tarballs

    * mono-2.4.2.3.tar.bz2
    * mono-basic-2.4.2.tar.bz2
    * libgdiplus-2.4.2.tar.bz2
    * gluezilla-2.4.2.tar.bz2

And try to make it to get a version of mono for RedHat?  Can we just get an already made
package for RedHat mono-2.4.2, etc from somewhere. 

 --- it looks like 2.4.2 is a stable version before 2.6.

(2) If mono, MonoDevelop and RedHat need to match versions among them, is there a
list/table to tell which match which?  And further down the road, where I can find
information on how we package our application on top of mono, MonoDevelop and RedHat? 
(This may be a known subject for experience Linux, mono which I am not).

Thanks a lot,
Jerry

It looks like you don't have gtk-sharp installed.  As for the package,
etc someone else on this list will have to help you out with that.  I
use openSUSE as my primary distro so I'm not too familiar with what
repos/packages are available on redhat.

I've found the following link to download the rpm Packages for RHEL and
Fedora

http://software.opensuse.org/search

but I'm interested in installing different application (specifically mono
and its tools) from source code and tarball.

Please if any one could provide tutorials about how to install applications
in Fedora using source code. I can search internet, but i think it will be
more accurate to be provided from this List. Also what is the required Back
Ground? is it related to C++ and combination or to OS?

gtk-sharp installation for RedHat

I downloaded gtk-sharp-2.12.9.tar.gz package to my RedHat box.  "sudo
-s" a root session.  Did "tar xvfz gtk-sharp-2.12.9.tar.gz".  Then
"cd
gtk-sharp-2.12.9" and did "./configure -prefix=/usr/local".  All above
looks ok.  When I try the next "make" (as suggested in README file).
Nothing happen.  I found that the "Makefile" is missing.  There are
Makefile.am, Makefile.in and Makefile.include but not sure how to use it
or to create a Makefile from them/it.  Can someone help.

 

Thanks,
Jerry

for their RHEL products. You can either complain as a paying
customer and hoping they will listen or buy your service from a vendor such
as Novell whose excellent SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop comes with superb
Mono support.

Sorry for being so blunt, Red Hat hates Mono and there is to the best of my
knowledge nobody interested in doing Mono as a EPEL project to add support.

You can also use Fedora for which the nice people on this list provides
support, but that is definitely not an enterprise ready product.

Kind regards,
David Nielsen
