The history is that I've installed mono (version 1.0.1) from the SuSE 9.2 Pro DVD. In order to get monodevelop installed, I've then installed the following SuSE 9.2 packages from the go-mono site:
* gecko-sharp-0.6-1
* gtksourceview-sharp-0.5-1
* monodoc-1.0.5-1
* monodevelop-0.5.1-1
* xsp-1.0.1-1
When I then tried to install bytefx-data-mysql-1.0.1-1, YaST tells me that mono-core is not available - even though it is.
I then tried to get rid of everything and start again. I used the following command from Paul Johnson's web site:
rpm -e mono-ms-extras mono-core-devel mono-locale-other mono-complete mono-remoting mono-peapi mono-data-postgresql mono-ziplib mono-posix mono-locale-mideast mono-data-sqlite
mono-cairo mono-web-services mono-novell-directory mono-drawing mono-data mono-winforms
mono-nunit mono-ikvm mono-data-oracle mono-runtime-devel mono-ms-enterprise mono-directory
mono-core mono-web-forms mono-preview mono-locale-rare mono-complete-devel mono-xml-relaxng
mono-locale-cjk mono-basic monodoc gtk-sharp xsp monodevelop gtksourceview-sharp ibm-data-db2
ikvm gtk-sharp-gapi gecko-sharp bytefx-data-mysql mono-data-sybase cairo cairo-devel libpixman libpixman-devel
However, this fails to recognize (and therefore uninstall) any of the packages installed from the SuSE DVD. Consequently when I try to install from downloaded packages (1.0.1 or 1.0.5) I just get lots of dependency errors.
What I need to finish up with is sufficient packages installed that I can install and run n-tier, distributed ASP.NET applications using MySQL as a backend database. This implies I need the MySQL data components, all the available remoting facilities and Web application facilities. I've pretty much given up on the idea of using Linux (i.e. mono on Linux) as a development platform, except for tutorial/self-teaching purposes.
Is there anyone with the knowledge and patience to explain to me in words of one syllable what I have to do?
Thanks in advance
Peter
