I think that the http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/370/ link will end up being the solution. I just looked at it. It is written by Jo Shields (directhex), who is a member of the Debian mono team, IIUC. Among other useful things, he says: "This guide does NOT take startup scripts into account – it’s your problem to ensure you’re using the correct “mono” command to run your copy of MonoDevelop or Tomboy or whatever." The good news is: we may have an answer for that. I have in my possession a pre-release copy of an as-yet unnumbered PEP by Mark Hammond. Mark is going to propose a python launcher program for Windows, so that it will obey a "shebang" command to launch one of multiple versions of python. I proposed that IronPython launching ability should be included in it. The reference code he supplies is in Python, and quite simple. It would not be hard to make an Ubuntu version of a similar program, to check for and launch the appropriate version of mono and IPy. -- Vernon _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
