kpm restore fails to restore System.Console: "The specified archive is invalid"

[akoeplinger]

While testing the new kvmsetup script from dotnet/aspnetcore#48 on Ubuntu 14.04 with latest Mono master I got the following exception:

alexander@ubuntu-desktop:~/dev/Home/samples/ConsoleApp$ kpm restore

This was a problem with how I built/setup Mono. It couldn't find libMonoPosixHelper.so when unzipping the nupkg. Workaround was specifiying LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib.

[mgutz]

I'm having same issue, setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH didn't help on OS X Mavericks. kpm restores spits out the same errors.

[davidfowl]

@mgutz did you set it to the right path?

[mgutz]

Since you phrased it that way, I had to triple check. You were right. find -iname "linuxMono*" was the prefix directory

I built to ~/.local/mono-HEAD so I had to prefix all commands, I thought it needed to be set for make

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.local/mono-HEAD/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH kpm restore
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.local/mono-HEAD/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH k run

[akoeplinger]

FYI we have a pull request pending that will make the workaround unnecessary: mono/mono#1064
