SUSE didn't ship Mono on SLES9, so "just using YaST" isn't really an option in terms of doing things the way you always do.
Tim, if you download the RPMs for your architecture and try to install them, RPM will tell you if there are dependencies that aren't being met. Sometimes figuring out just what to do about that can be a challenge, but someone on this mailing list should be able to help you through it. Since Neale Ferguson is the one that creates them for the mainframe, I'm pretty sure he'll have something to offer in the way of help. :) Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kyle Smith Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 4:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Mono ASP.NET on Apache on Linux on z Most enterprise Linux distributions don't have the very latest point (and sometimes even major) releases of software in their repositories (it's considered a feature by most). According to the ASP.NET FAQ on the Mono website ( http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_ASP.NET), all you need is Apache (1.x or 2.x), Mono, and mod_mono, the latter two being available on the Mono downloads page. They appear to have prebuilt RPMs for both 31 and 64-bit architectures. If all else fails, just build from source. In terms of keeping your software up to date, just use yast. That will let you have the latest stable software in the SuSE repositories. If you want bleeding-edge packages, you'll have to download them manually or build them yourself. ks On 2/22/06, Tim Hare <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm one of those "proof of concept" sites - actually you all have > proven the concept, but this is what management calls it - we want to > see if we can move an ASP.NET application from IIS to the Mono version > on Apache on a Linux server on z/Series. > > I'm trying to RATFD (Read All The "friendly" Documentation) around - > and what concerns me is that the Apache which ships with SuSE doesn't > seem to be as up-to-date as the one at Apache.org; so I'm not sure > aboud dependencies on that which Mono may have... is there a tool > which keeps track of these dependencies (ala SMP/E?) and will help get > what we need? > > Thanks > Tim Hare > Senior Systems Programmer > Florida Department of Transportation > (850) 414-4209 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
