Error while installing mono 2.11 for ubuntu

[tkellogg]

I downloaded the install_mono-2.11.sh script and ran it. While building libgdiplus I get this error:

libtool: link: gcc -g -O2 -pthread -o .libs/testgdi testgdi.o  ../src/.libs/libgdiplus.so -lpthread -lfontconfig -pthread -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/mono-2.11/lib
/usr/bin/ld: testgdi.o: undefined reference to symbol 'g_print'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'g_print' is defined in DSO /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 so try adding it to the linker command line
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0: could not read symbols: Invalid operation

Do you have any ideas?

No, I haven't seen that one yet. I haven't tested this script in awhile. Which version of Ubuntu are you working with? If you don't need to use System.Drawing, you can exclude that library from the list in the install script. GDI is not required for MVC or web.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm so thankful for your script, I wish
there was a PPA for installing reasonable versions of mono.

I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04 and unfortunately I need a recent
version of monodevelop, so I need System.Drawing. I'd greatly appreciate
any help you can give. I've been working at it for a long time.

I am getting the same error.
The folder name is libgdiplus-2.10.9/tests, so maybe the problem is only in tests, and can be ignored?
The library seems to have been generated, in ./src/.libs/libgdiplus.so.

Workaround:

1. First, run ./configure but I guess you have done it already
2. Edit Makefile and remove test in the SUBDIRS line, so that it becomes SUBDIRS = src
3. make
   This time it should work.
