Cannot install mono 4.x on CentOS 6.6

Legacy Uncategorised

hi guys,

I got problem to install mono-complete package on CentOS 6.6. I followed the instruction at http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/.

I got error as follows. Seems the libs are old at CentOS 6.6 (libc is 2.12). But the problem is I cannot update libs as I try to simulate production servers.

Did any one go through similar installation? Appreciate much on any advice.

Thanks,

Edward

Hi Edward,

Here are the steps we found to install mono on CentOS 6:

$ sudo yum -y install bison gettext glib2 freetype fontconfig libpng libpng-devel libX11 libX11-devel glib2-devel libexif glibc-devel urw-fonts java unzip gcc gcc-c++ automake autoconf libtool make bzip2 wget
$ cd /usr/local/src
$ sudo wget http://download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-4.0.1.44.tar.bz2
$ sudo tar jxf mono-4.0.1.44.tar.bz2
$ cd mono-4.0.1
$ sudo ./configure --prefix=/opt/mono
$ sudo make 
$ sudo make install

Also you may need to update ~/.bashrc with the following:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mono/bin
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/mono/lib/pkgconfig

The libgdi dependencies shouldn’t be required for installing mono.

Please let us know how you go.

Cheers,
Shane
