Hey guys, I'm trying to install Mono on CentOS 5.3.3 through Yum.
According to the instructions I found elsewhere I grabbed a copy of mono.repo from the Mono site and placed it in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory.
The file looks like this:
[mono]
name=Mono for rhel-4-i386 (stable)
baseurl=http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/rhel-4-i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Next I ran yum install mono-complete and here's the log.
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

libgdiplus0-1.9-1.rhel4.novell.i386 from mono has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: libexif.so.9 is needed by package libgdiplus0-1.9-1.rhel4.novell.i386 (mono)
Error: Missing Dependency: libexif.so.9 is needed by package libgdiplus0-1.9-1.rhel4.novell.i386 (mono)
According to this post on the CentOS forums, I even enabled the centosplus repo - but no avail.
Can anyone guide me in resolving this missing dependency of libexif.so.9 ? I cannot seem to find the rpm for this exact version...
Thanks, m^e
