install Mono 1.9 in ubuntu 8.04
Posted May 2nd, 2008 by adminI came across this tutorial for Mono 1.9.1 (Mono 2.0 beta) . If you want to use them add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
[bash]deb http://debian.meebey.net/etch-backports /[/bash]
After that run:
[bash]apt-get update[/bash]
Now you can upgrade or install Mono 1.9.1 and MonoDevelop 1.0 using your
favorite package managing tool (dselect/apt/aptitude/synaptic/whatever)
Ubuntu 8.04 only comes with the 5 month old Mono 1.2.6 (yet includes the recent MonoDevelop 1.0) and it’s a huge hassle compiling Mono from source (it really shouldn’t be, but it is). These packages are intended for Debian Etch, but should work under Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) and Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). This also includes Moonlight (Silverlight for Linux) related development packages. If you just need to run Moonlight, not develop for it, then check out the prepackaged Moonlight builds.
