woohoo. I finally got monodevelop installed on my laptop in crux.

What a bear of a job. I spent a few days wondering why in the world it wouldn’t start. Then mircoulusly(sp ?) I tried to start it through console and it spit out that it needed MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME variable set to Mozilla installation directory. Well that sucked because I had not idea what program it was refereing to. Whether it meant a specific one or the whole freaking package.

So after a day of griping and complaining and google searches I finally decided to just download the 13 meg mozilla file and untar it. Well once I finally did that I set the envritonment variable like so:

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="path/to/mozilla/"

After that it worked. Now I need to figure out why it says Version .8 and not version .7. Oh, well at least I have it installed now and can play with it.

Until next time happy coding.
