Hi, First let me say that I am new to Mono. Anyhow, I downloaded the Beta 2.dmg for MacOS X and installed it on a fresh MacOS distribution. A couple of issues, however:
(i) From the release notes, I had read: "we are pleased to release the result of their efforts, MonoDevelop with Mono 1.0 Beta 2..." but when I look in the package, there is no MonoDevelop. Do I have to download the source code separately and compile it? (ii) XSP: I downloaded and successfully built XSP 0.14; however, when I start the server (from the xsp-0.14/test directory) and point my browser (Safari) to localhost:8080, I get error messages on the browser display: Server error in '/' application Description: Error processing request. Error Message: HTTP 500. Stack Trace: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in (unmanaged) (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Type:internal_from_name (string,bool,bool) in <0x0008c> (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Type:internal_from_name (string,bool,bool) in <0x00070> System.Type:GetType (string,bool) in <0x0004c> System.Web.Configuration.ModuleItem:.ctor (string,string) in <0x00440> System.Web.Configuration.HttpModulesConfigurationHandler:Create (object,object,System.Xml.XmlNode) in <0x0027c> System.Web.Configuration.ConfigurationData:GetConfigInternal (string,System.Web.HttpContext,bool) in <0x000dc> System.Web.Configuration.ConfigurationData:GetConfigOptLocation (string,System.Web.HttpContext,bool) in <0x0041c> System.Web.Configuration.ConfigurationData:GetConfig (string,System.Web.HttpContext) in <0x000c4> System.Web.Configuration.WebDefaultConfig:GetConfig (string,System.Web.HttpContext) in <0x00060> System.Web.Configuration.WebDefaultConfig:GetConfig (string) in <0x00034> System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationSettings:GetConfig (string) in <0x0001c> System.Web.HttpContext:GetAppConfig (string) in <0x0003c> System.Web.HttpApplication:InitModules () in <0x00090> System.Web.HttpApplication:Startup (System.Web.HttpContext,System.Web.HttpApplicationState) in <0x000cc> System.Web.HttpApplicationFactory:InitializeFactory (System.Web.HttpContext) in <0x000bc> System.Web.HttpApplicationFactory:GetInstance (System.Web.HttpContext) in <0x00190> System.Web.HttpRuntime:InternalExecuteRequest (System.Web.HttpWorkerRequest) and also on the command line window: ** (/usr/local/bin/xsp.exe:4315): WARNING **: Could not find assembly ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib, references from /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/0.95/lib/mono/gac/Mono.Http/1.0.5000.0__0738eb9f132ed756/Mono.Http.dll (assemblyref_index=2) Major/Minor: 0,31 Build: 0,0 Token: 1b03e6acf1164f73 (iii) Monodoc: I download Monodoc 0.16 and want to try the web version, so following instructions, cd browser/web and mono xsp.exe. Now the error on the browser is: Server Error in '/' Application Parser Error Description: Error parsing a resource required to service this request. Review your source file and modify it to fix this error. Error message: Assembly monodoc not found File name: /Users/mjg/Projects/mono/monodoc-0.16/browser/web/monodoc.ashx Line: 1 Source Error: <%@ WebHandler Language="c#" class="Mono.Website.Handlers.MonodocHandler" %> <%@ Assembly name="monodoc" %> #define MONODOC_PTREE I have to say that the distinct lack of any kind of support documentation, especially for 1.0beta 2 release, really does put me off using Mono. However, any help would be most welcome.
