Question

When I try to open MonoDevelop this error appears in the console log

com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[249] ([0x0-0x13013].com.ximian.monodevelop[308]) Exited with exit code: 255

How can I fix the problem?

EDIT: Snow Leopard 10.6.8, MonoDevelop 2.4.2 and Mono 2.10.5.

UPDATE: This is the error if I try to run MonoDevelop from shell

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/MonoDevelop.app.

UPDATE 2: I’ve found the crash reporter for mono

FATAL ERROR [2011-09-03 15:06:25Z]: MonoDevelop failed to start. Some of the assemblies required to run MonoDevelop (for example gtk-sharp, gnome-sharp or gtkhtml-sharp) may not be properly installed in the GAC.

Any help?

For those interested in:

1. Uninstall Mono with this script uninstall script. You have to save the script in a file with extension .sh
2. Save the file in the desktop as uninstallMonoFr.sh (for example)
3. Open a terminal window: cd Desktop, sudo ./uninstallMonoFr.sh, insert your pwd
4. Download mono framework 2.10.4 (this version works for me)
5. Install again

I don’t know if the problem is due to 2.10.5 version of mono framework. 2.10.4 works well.

UPDATE Seems that Mono 2.10.5 still presenting a package bug. MonoDevelop can’t open with this version. Mono 2.10.4 works.

UPDATE 2 I’ve just installed 2.10.6 and it works. MonoDevelop now opens correctly.
