How do I install the Mono 2.6.7 runtime on CentOS 5.5 using YUM?
I know how to build Mono from the source. However, according to the page Getting Started With Mono Tools it is possible to install the binaries directly. I'd prefer to install the binaries to avoid having to install all the development pre-requisites on a server with little disk space.
Am I supposed to add a new repository description to YUM? I tried doing that, but I must have done it wrong, because "yum list mono-core" still says the old version (1.2.4-2.el5.centos).
And, why are the .rpm's called "mono-addon-" on the release server? It's a bit confusing. It sounds like the .rpm's are an add-on to Mono. I guess they mean they are an "add-on" to the server(?).
I figured it out.
Create a new repository configuration file
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
vi mono.repo
Add the following lines to the file
[Mono]
name=Mono Stack (RHEL_5)
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/RHEL_5/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/RHEL_5/repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1
Update the YUM cache to be on the safe side
yum clean all
Install the Mono server stack
yum install monotools-addon-server
The installed binaries will end up in "/opt/novell/mono/bin".
You should issue the following command to set up your shell environment so that it finds Mono, mcs and the other Mono tools
source /opt/novell/mono/bin/mono-addon-environment.sh
Verify the version
mono --version

Happy Mono'ing!!!
In addition to octonion's post, if, like me, you want to use Apache mod_mono, you need to ensure you install the correct version of mod_mono by running the following, and it will get the right one:
yum install mod_mono-addon
Don't just issue yum install mod_mono. It may install mod_mono 1.2 version from the CentOS extras repository and not what you're actually after.
As a reference, I was getting the following error in /var/log/httpd/error_log when running the incorrect mod_mono version:
Root directory: /
mod_mono and xsp have different versions. Expected '9', got 6
System.InvalidOperationException: mod_mono and xsp have different versions. Expected '9', got 6
It is a silly, but easy mistake to make if you new to this like me.

I am trying to install mono-complete on my Debian 11 VPS. However it seems that there is no release for debian:
E: The repository 'https://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian stable-bullseye Release' does not have a Release file.
There does seem to be a release for Ubuntu, but that has a dependency which has a dependency that has no installation candidate.
What is the correct way to install Mono on Debian 11? I have scoured the internet but everything seems to show the exact same method, which does not work.
I'm trying to install libQt5Core from an rpm and I get:
Error: nothing provides libicui18n.so.52.1()(64bit) needed by libQt5Core5-5.5.1-4.1.x86_64
There is newer version:
dnf whatprovides libicui18n*
Last metadata expiration check performed 0:00:14 ago on Fri Jan 29 13:58:14 2016.
libicu-54.1-5.fc23.x86_64 : International Components for Unicode - libraries
Repo : #System
Where do you install the libQt5Core from? The official repositories should not require packages versions that are not available.
Don't use that RPM to install the QT 5 core libraries. I'm guessing that you have a package for openSUSE (because that's what comes up when I Google for "libQt5Core rpm"). In Fedora, the package you want is qt5-qtbase. Install that with:
sudo dnf install qt5-qtbase
It happens that our version in Fedora 23 is also version 5.5.1, so I think that'll be what you really need here.
If you're doing software development, you might want to pull in the KDE Frameworks 5 development group, which is mostly QT stuff and which will get you set up for building programs against that, which might be what you're trying to do:
sudo dnf groupinstall kf5-software-development
I am a novice with zeroMQ and I am stuck at binding ØMQ with java on a server running CentOS release 5.9.
Unfortunately, I do not have super user/root privileges on the server and am trying to install ØMQ as a normal user with restricted privileges. I have installed ØMQ by following instructions on http://www.zeromq.org/area:download
Make sure that libtool, autoconf, automake are installed.
Check whether uuid-dev package, uuid/e2fsprogs RPM or equivalent on your system is installed.
Unpack the .tar.gz source archive.
Run ./configure, followed by make.
Could not run the following obviously
To install ØMQ system-wide run sudo make install.
On Linux, run sudo ldconfig after installing ØMQ.
Then I attempted to install jzmq.
Cloned [git clone https://github.com/zeromq/jzmq.git]
Ran autogen.sh
Ran configure
At this point I get the following error
checking for ZeroMQ... no
checking zmq.h usability... no
checking zmq.h presence... no
checking for zmq.h... no
configure: error: cannot find zmq.h
As a result of the above error I am not able to run java tests and get error "no jzmq in java.library.path".
Can anybody help/direct me to how to get java binding for zeromq work when you dont have root privileges to install it? Its difficult to get IT department to install a new software on servers.
Appreciate your help.
Note: I do not have write permissions to /usr directory
Thanks
GBP
This can be overcome by adding --with-zeromq=/home/user/zeromq (installation directory of zeromq)
./configure --with-zeromq=/home/user/zeromq
Other steps include
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/zeromq/lib
You can also use JeroMQ (https://github.com/zeromq/jeromq) which is a pure Java implementation of ZeroMQ
I got this working by running autogen.sh on OEL 6 then running configure / compiling / installing on CentOS 5.9. I briefly looked into why autogen.sh was failing and the problem was the tool chain was too old. Since I had a more up-to-date system with a modern tool chain available running autogen.sh on something other than CentOS 5 was the easiest path for me. I'm sure it works fine with other modern Linux variants, I had OEL 6 at my finger tips.
I also did not have access to a standard directory for installation. To get that working I added zmq.jar to my class path, and the run-time linker needed to be able to find the zeromq and jzmq run-time libraries.
I faced the same issue on CentOS 6.5 and found that you need to install "gcc-c++" for this to work.
I used the following to install dependencies:
yum -y install jdk zeromq-devel unzip libtool gcc autoconf automake gcc-c++ python
Note that "jdk" comes from our private repository and it's same what can be downloaded from java.com
The following public repositories are installed on server:
atomic
Actually, I ended up having this same issue, and the following script worked for me, where I installed zeromq into ~ (so that I have ~/lib contains libzmq.a libzmq.la libzmq.so libzmq.so.3 libzmq.so.3.1.0 pkgconfig)
./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=$HOME \ #because you don't have root privileges
--with-zeromq=$HOME --includedir=$HOME/include/ --libdir=$HOME/lib/
./make
./make -n install
#to check to see if it installs it to the right location
make install
I build my C# project on Travis-CI like this:
# .travis.yml
before_install:
- sudo apt-get update -qq
- sudo apt-get install -qq mono-devel gtk-sharp2
install:
- xbuild Source/Pash.sln
Travis uses Precise (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) which seems like a good choice for them, but it includes Mono 12.10. My C# project hits a bug in Mono 2.10. The bug appears to be fixed in Mono 2.11+.
I read that Ubuntu is slow to pick up new builds of Mono because so much depends on it, and it can break so much. That's fine, but for Travis dependencies aren't really a problem - the machine goes away at the end of the build!
I have considered
compiling a new Mono in .travis.yml but I don't want to put that much burden on the Travis servers.
Building a MCS (Mono C# compiler) with just this fix.
Downloading and installing a newer Mono from somewhere (where?)
Checking a recent Mono in to my GIT repo.
Suggestions?
If you're going to use something higher than what standard distro packages provide, I recommend you to go all the way and not use unstable 2.11.x series, but official/beta 3.x ones.
So, grab yourself some preview Debian/Ubuntu 3.0.6 packages from this PPA:
http://www.meebey.net/posts/mono_3.0_preview_debian_ubuntu_packages/
The best way I've found to get a full up to date mono environment is to use an OS X travis profile
language: objective-c
before_install:
# Make sure mono is installed,
- wget http://download.mono-project.com/archive/3.0.10/macos-10-x86/MonoFramework-MDK-3.0.10.macos10.xamarin.x86.dmg
- hdid MonoFramework-MDK-3.0.10.macos10.xamarin.x86.dmg
- sudo installer -pkg "/Volumes/Mono Framework MDK 3.0.10/MonoFramework-MDK-3.0.10.macos10.xamarin.x86.pkg" -target /
install:
- xbuild Source/Pash.sln
I'm trying to use Scrapy inside a virtualenv, which requires installation of twisted as well. I did pip install Scrapy with no problems, but when I try pip install twisted, I'm getting the following error multiple times in the output:
unable to execute gcc-4.0: No such file or directory
error: command 'gcc-4.0' failed with exit status 1
I previously had a similar problem when trying to install python packages on my actual system, which is why I started using virtualenv in the first place. Is this an issue of the python version installed on my environment? This is what I currently have:
Django - 1.5 - active
Python - 2.7.3 - active development (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload)
Scrapy - 0.16.4 - active
pip - 1.2.1 - active
setuptools - 0.6c11 - active
wsgiref - 0.1.2 - active development (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7)
yolk - 0.4.3 - active
To check which version of gcc I have I typed gcc at the command line and got
i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2: no input files
I tried export CC=gcc-4.2 before running pip install twisted, and I got:
llvm-gcc-4.2: error trying to exec '/usr/bin/../llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2': execvp: No such file or directory
lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: /var/folders/s8/d0f65gc93nbchdk52g2cg5f80000gn/T//ccWQa7cJ.out
error: command 'gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 255
It sort of looks to me like it's looking for powerpc-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2, and what I have above is i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2--are these different and therefore causing the problem?
To give more background info, I installed Python 2.7 from a Python.org installer a long time ago before upgrading from Snow Leopard straight to Mountain Lion. If I simply type in python at the command line I get
Python 2.7.3 (v2.7.3:70274d53c1dd, Apr 9 2012, 20:32:06)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
So I'm guessing that means I'm using Apple's Python? And it's built with gcc-4.0.1? So if that's the case, shouldn't I not need to do the export CC=gcc-4.2? Or do I need to do that AND switch to the Python.org version of Python? (And if the latter, how do I do that?)
Update: I tried this solution for switching Python versions but it didn't work.
Update: I managed to switch Python versions (outside of my virtualenv) using the sudo port select --set python python27 command, but this didn't solve the problem even though I'm now showing:
Python 2.7.3 (default, Nov 17 2012, 19:54:34)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.1 ((tags/Apple/clang-421.11.66))] on darwin
when I type python at the commmand line.
Update: I also found this solution to a question that seemed to have almost the exact same issues as I'm having, but I'm already upgraded to XCode 4.6 and definitely have the Command Line Tools installed as described in the aforementioned solution (Preferences>Downloads tab>Install Command Line Tools). I do also have XCode 3.2.6 installed, however--any chance that's causing my problems?
Have you tried CC="$(type -p clang)" pip install twisted? You don't necessarily need to use gcc to compile Twisted's extensions; selecting clang instead might clear up whatever weird problem seems to be infesting your gcc installation.
If that doesn't work, I would suggest un-installing any Python.org versions of Python and then possibly re-installing both the OS and Xcode, since it looks like something might have corrupted your system Python install. I have no idea how references to powerpc stuff have persisted into Mountain Lion, since Lion removed support for ppc.
