A simpler solution than all this might be to just use one of the standalone binaries from the web site: http://monotone.ca/downloads/0.36/mtn-0.36-linux-x86.bz2 http://monotone.ca/downloads/0.36/mtn-0.36-linux_2.6-static.bz2 Just uncompress, rename to "mtn", make executable, and put somewhere in your path, and they should work.
(Why do we have two of these now? I can't tell which one I would need or what the real difference is; do we expect that users can? It would be better to just provide whichever single binary works on the greatest variety of possible systems...) On Wed, Aug 29, 2007 at 01:01:39PM +0200, Julio M.
