Not able to open MonoDevelop v 2.4.2 - mono

When I try to open MonoDevelop this error appears in the console log
com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[249] ([0x0-0x13013].com.ximian.monodevelop[308]) Exited with exit code: 255
How can I fix the problem?
EDIT: Snow Leopard 10.6.8, MonoDevelop 2.4.2 and Mono 2.10.5.
UPDATE: This is the error if I try to run MonoDevelop from shell
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/MonoDevelop.app.
UPDATE 2: I've found the crash reporter for mono
FATAL ERROR [2011-09-03 15:06:25Z]: MonoDevelop failed to start. Some of the assemblies required to run MonoDevelop (for example gtk-sharp, gnome-sharp or gtkhtml-sharp) may not be properly installed in the GAC.

Any help?

For those interested in:
Uninstall Mono with this script uninstall script. You have to save the script in a file with extension .sh
Save the file in the desktop as uninstallMonoFr.sh (for example)
Open a terminal window: cd Desktop, sudo ./uninstallMonoFr.sh, insert your pwd
Download mono framework 2.10.4 (this version works for me)
Install again
I don't know if the problem is due to 2.10.5 version of mono framework. 2.10.4 works well.
UPDATE Seems that Mono 2.10.5 still presenting a package bug. MonoDevelop can't open with this version. Mono 2.10.4 works.
UPDATE 2 I've just installed 2.10.6 and it works. MonoDevelop now opens correctly.

This also helped me (permission issue):

I just added myself (user) with read&write permissions.

Mono Framework Build Error - Mac OSX

When using the Mono framework 5.10.0.16 (regardless of IDE: VS for Mac, JetBrains Rider and MonoDevelop) the same error occurs and I cannot make sense of it:

ASP.NET vNext on Linux Ubuntu 14.04. Unable to load Kestrel

I've installed mono 3.8.0, installed kvm and ran the kp=vm upgrade and
My K runtime version is as follows
Active Version Runtime Location Alias
1.0.0-beta3 mono ~/.k/runtimes default
After running the kpm restore from the folder containing the project.json file
I get an error while running the k kestrel command.
I guess the following error has to do with the libuv installation, which I also have installed - version 1.4.2, or at least I think so. Has anyone come across this error ?
System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to load application or execute command 'Microsoft.AspNet.Hosting'. Available commands: web, kestrel. at Microsoft.Framework.ApplicationHost.Program.ThrowEntryPointNotfoundException (Microsoft.Framework.Runtime.DefaultHost host, System.String applicationName, System.Exception innerException) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Microsoft.Framework.ApplicationHost.Program.ExecuteMain (Microsoft.Framework.Runtime.DefaultHost host, System.String applicationName, System.String[] args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Microsoft.Framework.ApplicationHost.Program.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
Turns out that the problem was pretty simple. Although I had the kestrel command defined in the project.json file, I did not include the "Kestrel" dependency in the dependencies section.
Once I added that it worked.
For beta3, you need mono 3.12..

Does fastcgi-mono-serverX work with mono 3.0 & nginx 1.2.4

I have been trying for some days to get mono 3.0 & nginx 1.2.4 and fastcgi-mono-serverX in the XSP 2.10 package going on Centos 6.3 ...the XSP4 server works but I can't get the fastcgi method working.
I built and tested mono 3.0 from source, it works fine.
I followed the config at http://www.mono-project.com/FastCGI_Nginx to no avail and many other settings from the nginx site.
...does the current XSP 2.10 module work with mono 3.0?
...should I downgrade mono to 2.11.4 to work with XSP 2.10?
...ultimately I would like to run ASP.Net 4.0 Web Forms
Update: Here's some output from the mono-server.log:

I was about to file a bug report with Xamarin... then I came across this submitted bug report from a year ago.
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2876
tl;dr
You need to update the shell script (found with which mono-fastcgi-server4), and move mono-fastcgi-server4.exe from /usr/lib/mono/4.0 to /usr/lib/mono/4.5.
Longer Explanation
As mentioned, I'm using the mono-fastcgi-server4 package directly from the main canonical Ubuntu source which lists these file contents
/usr/bin/fastcgi-mono-server4
/usr/lib/mono/4.0/fastcgi-mono-server4.exe
/usr/lib/mono/gac/fastcgi-mono-server4/2.10.0.0__0738eb9f132ed756/fastcgi-mono-server4.exe
/usr/share/doc/mono-fastcgi-server4/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/mono-fastcgi-server4/NEWS.gz
/usr/share/doc/mono-fastcgi-server4/README
/usr/share/doc/mono-fastcgi-server4/README.Debian
/usr/share/doc/mono-fastcgi-server4/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/mono-fastcgi-server4/copyright
/usr/share/man/man1/fastcgi-mono-server4.1.gz
Based on the bug report solution, I was able to get this working. Essentially you edit the shell script used to launch fastcgi-mono-server4.exe by hand (which should be in /usr/bin), and move the .exe file by hand... or... you can use this little snippet of script that I incorporated into the deploy:setup of a Capistrano script. It uses sed to update the script.
fastcgi=$(which fastcgi-mono-server4) &&
sudo sed -i.bak -e 's/4\\.0/4.5/' $fastcgi &&
fastcgi_src='/usr/lib/mono/4.0/fastcgi-mono-server4.exe' &&
fastcgi_dest='/usr/lib/mono/4.5/fastcgi-mono-server4.exe' &&
if [ -f "$fastcgi_src" ]; then sudo mv $fastcgi_src $fastcgi_dest; fi;
This report also seems related
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3582
If you use Mono 3.0, use a tag from xsp that is 3.x too. End of story.
Also, to avoid bugs like 3582, use Mono 3.0.3 or higher.

mono gtk hello world failing, 'Missing method'

I am trying out mono for the first time. Here are the steps I took to set it up.
Installed Kubuntu 12.04 LTS in VirtualBox
apt-get install mono-complete gtk-sharp2
Then I tried running the hello world applications in this tutorial.
http://www.mono-project.com/Mono_Basics
The command line application ran fine.
I compiled the GTK application with the following command as per the instructions:
gmcs hello.cs -pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0
When I run the application it fails with the following errors:
Missing method System.Type::op_Inequality(Type,Type) in assembly /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll, referenced in assembly /usr/lib/mono/gac/gtk-sharp/2.12.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/gtk-sharp.dll
Unhandled Exception: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.Type.op_Inequality'.
at Gtk.Window..ctor (System.String title) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at Hello.Main () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.Type.op_Inequality'.
at Gtk.Window..ctor (System.String title) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at Hello.Main () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
To me it looks like the mono libraries are incompatible with the gtk-sharp libraries.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this working?
All 12.04 Ubuntu editions have Mono defaulting to 4.0 profile (similar to .NET 4.0). You are compiling your hello.cs using gmcs compiler which is intended to target 2.0 profile (similar to .NET 2.0).
Use dmcs compiler instead of gmcs and the error will go away.

NAnt build issues with Mono

I am trying to build a Mono project using NAnt but I get the error listed below. I have tried altering the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH to include the path leading to the file: mono.pc but that does not seem to work.
Failed to initialize the 'Mono 3.5 Profile' (mono-3.5) target framework.:

I've recently had the same problem trying to install the TAO Framework on Mac OSX 10.6.5 under Mono 2.8.1 with Nant 0.90 (FYI). Here's how I was led to solve this (guided by this page):
Locate the nant script itself ('/usr/bin/nant' on OSX, try 'which nant')
Open the 'nant' script in an editor (you might need the right permissions).
On a new line and before the 'exec ...' line, add something like:
export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/Mono/Framework/Versions/VERSION/lib/pkgconfig
my Mac OSX version looks like:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig/
(nb. my version actually has 2 pkgconfig paths, separated by a colon ':', '/usr/lib/pkgconfig' is also searched automatically, JFYI).
Also, you should add the exact same 'export' line to one of your .bashrc or .profile files (or the corresponding /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile files to set this globally).
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Rich
For me adding '/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin' to the PATH has solved the issue on Mac OS X 10.7.3 with Mono 2.10.9 and NAnt 0.91.
