Can't install Mono from Mono repo for Fedora 29 #11937

I knew adding Fedora download instructions - a distro we don't actually build for - was a mistake. Which version of Fedora? |
I'm on Fedora 29. Things worked on Fedora 28. Rather than update I opted to reinstall Fedora, which is why I'm now having issues. |
Try installing the FC28 compatibility RPM - https://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/releases/28/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/c/compat-giflib-4.1.6-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm |

FWIW: I created a blog post about my findings when installing Mono 5 on Fedora 29: https://blog.timpack.org/fedora-29-and-mono-5. |

Note - these instructions are now outdated. I got 404 error upon trying to install the compat-giflib package of concern, I was able to find this archive 3rd party site with the package: They seemed to make reference to some fedora archive page. For the next person investigating this, my note is that this above source does not seem reliable and this could be risky to rely on this source, I would say if someone is able to find a fedora archive page with the proper package from official source this would be best. On digging I did find a page explaining on redhat bugzilla that the version 4.1.6 was being retired as it was only a placeholder in F28 for giflib-5 or something like that, so this helps explain why this issue has arisen. Hope this helps. |
This is fedora's beta build farm, if that helps: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=26281 |
This is wildly out of date. Use the RHEL 8 repo for FC29. |
Hi I got the same error of missing "libgdiplus0-6.0.4-0.xamarin.1.epel7.src.rpm" when I install Mono 6.6 from RPM to CentOS 7.7, can some body suggest please? |
