Gutsy: monodevelop packade crashes on startup: Application not found: IDE

[Victor Sergienko]

Binary package hint: monodevelop

I have Kubuntu Gutsy 4, upgraded from Feisty.
Looks like some files are missing from monodevelop package.

$ monodevelop

Unhandled Exception: Mono.Addins.Setup.InstallException: Application not found: IDE

Hi.

Same behavior here.
Gusty beta, october 11th 2007

here are the console outputs of "monodevelop", "mono /usr/lib/monodevelop/bin/MonoDevelop.exe", and "mono -V".

feel free to email me (posting a comment will email-it to me IIRC) for further investigation.

Thanks, however that works fine for me with Gutsy, not confirming, thanks.

[Ted Mastrandonas (tmastran)]

I had the same problem. It had to do with old plugins. I uninstalled monodevelop and then executed:
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/monodevelop/*

Next I reinstalled monodevelop and it launches.

Thank you

For what it's worth, I had this problem when trying to create a standalone install of monodevelop. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic), and monodevelop works fine installed from packages.

I was following these instructions:
http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments

I was downloading the files from here:
http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources-stable/

I installed the following in this order:
- libgdiplus-2.6
- mono-2.6.1
- gtk-sharp-2.12.9
- mono-tools-2.6.1
- monodevelop-2.2

I received the error at this point when trying to compile monodevelop. I was able to fix the problem by compiling and installing mono-addins-0.4. Then, I went back to monodevelop and reran "make". The compile worked fine, and I was able to continue to install.

Based on that, I would guess that maybe there was something wrong with the dependencies with mono-addins or maybe an old installation of mono-addins was conflicting.

Hope that helps.
