Okay, here we go: 1. Download IronPython Go to http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython. Click Releases tab. Click IronPython-1.0-Bin.zip or IronPython-1.0-Src.zip. You need to agree to the license. Read it if you haven't. 2. Download Mono Go to http://www.mono-project.com/. Click "download now" icon (topright). DO NOT DOWNLOAD 1.1.13, IT WON'T WORK. Download according to your platform and install in the usual way. If you are using Debian Unstable like me, apt-get install mono is enough. For Linux users not covered, but using x86 architecture, I highly recommend "Linux Installer for x86 (All distributions)" download. It's a graphical installer, can be installed under your home directory not to distrub package managers, and uninstalls cleanly. 3. Run (Binary case) Unzip IronPython-1.0-Bin.zip. It unzips to IronPython-1.0 directory. Change to it. Run "mono ipy.exe". Make sure mono --version shows the version you installed; you may have non-working (for IronPython) 1.1.13 already installed on your system. You will see: IronPython 1.0.60816 on .NET 2.0.50727.42 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. >>> 4. Compile and Run (Source case) Unzip IronPython-1.0-Src.zip. It unzips to IronPython-1.0 directory. Change to it. Change to Src directory under it. Edit makefile. 1) Change "CSC=csc" to "CSC=gmcs". 2) Change "mkdir ..." to "mkdir -p". Make. "Compilation succeeded". Change to the parent directory and you will see newly compiled ipy.exe and DLLs. Run as in 3. Seo Sanghyeon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
