Upgrading MonoDevelop to 0.12

Problem:

Upgrading Monodevelop to 0.12

Install okay, crashes on startup, get this error message:

Unix Transport Error (Bug #78774?)

Solution:

Open a terminal and type in:

mdtool gsetup

This opens up the MonoDevelop Add-in Manager.

Go down to Language bindings, expand it and disable Boo Language binding 0.4.

Close the window and Monodevelop 0.12 will start up just fine.

Caution:

Not sure about the consequences of disabling the Boo Language bindings. If you know you need it……. don’t attempt the upgrade.

Environment:

This was done on a SLED 10 for AMD64 with all updates applied as of 31st December 2006.
