There's also a strange artifact of installing monodevelop and/or its necessary dependencies that breaks MIME behavior on FC5.   Using the Smart Package Manager its a relatively easy solution to use its 'reinstall' feature on gnome-vfs2, gnome-mime-data and shared-mime-info which seems to repair the damage.  Several people have experienced this problem and posted on fedoraforum.org so it's not just my system.  I don't have enough detail to submit a bug report and it's (now all) working for me; just thought I'd mention it...

While I'm at it... ; Does anybody know why FedoraExtras didn't sync with monodevelop as Fedora rolled out Mono with FC5?  It's clearly not a technical issue since Paul Johnson provided at least one path (circa monodevelop 0.10) and even these un-tuned rpms work well enough.  It's been a couple of weeks since I checked on the progress of having monodevelop in Extras, but it hasn't happened yet and FC6 Test1 release is just around the corner.  Odd.

And, I should take this opportunity to say how thrilled I am that monodevelop now provides a gui designer.  Also the progress on this package is phenomenal. Kudos and Thanks!

I do use FC5 and mono/monodevelop from source/svn with no problem. In fact I noticed that while there are rpms to mono there aren't for monodevelop in the official fedora repositories.

But there are rpms for the lastest mono and monodevelop in the mono web page. In fact you even have a yum repository for fedora core 5 rpms, did you try those?

Hi All,

Wonder what linux distribution may be used in which monodevelop 0.11 is
able to be installed from binaries. I've spent several frustrating days
with Fedora Core 5 to no avail. Thinking of using monoppix on another
box just to get the feeling for the interface. Notice on debian lists
that gtksharp_2 completion seems to be holding up dependency resolution.

Thanks
Mark Carew

Well, it's never quite that simple - and there is a MD-0.11
rpm sitting
on my machine at home. Personally, I don't know why MD is a
candidate
for FE when it really should be in Core. I have a feeling
that it's down
to why RH accepted Mono. I certainly get a feeling it was
taken somewhat
grudgingly based on the number of people reviewing the
packages (though
they are slowly getting through!)

FC6t1 isn't just around the corner either - it's a month
or so off!

Currently, gtksourceview-sharp and monodoc are being
reviewed, though I
do have boo and ikvm support built into my rpm of MD, so all
4 need
approval before MD gets the go light.

If users' request can be effective just provide a contact and I'd happily ask, as would others I'm sure, they review any decision to leave MD out in the cold. ; With FC6T1 freeze only two weeks away, ; it would be nice to know that FC6 will include MD in a coherent form. ; While waiting for the fedora-core-5 go-mono downloads I tried building from source, using your rpms, standing on my head.... ;)

RH has tied mono so deeply that most attempts would have resulted in removal of core mono applications.  Any time this machine doesn't work I start to have the DT's.... it's got my finances and TV captures and whatnot.&nbsp; I don't use force or nodeps on this one.  I'm sure there are tricks I don't know. ; Still, you see what I had to do to get it working.&nbsp; In the past I'd built mono and its dependencies and applications all from sources.&nbsp; Having Mono in FC5 I thought would obviate that need. ; But the generic MD sources conflict greatly with RH's idea of packaging AFAICT.

But *today* is a good day.  It's all working.&nbsp; There's a place to check for the latest and greatest of MD and it will install and I know how to clean it up.  And it's good stuff.

Until something changes....  it's never that simple, you got that right!&nbsp;

I think that it's rather annoying that all my MIME types
have gone.

I found and installed the Smart Package manager. Could you
please tell 
me where to find the 'reinstall' feature and how to use
it?

Thanks in advance,

Finn G. Larsen

Just ignore my request. I managed to get the MIME types back
using the 
Smart Packet Manager
