I am installing it as I speak. To get it to emerge, I needed the following keywords (on an amd64 system of course). To find get them working, I started with Cristian’s list and ran “emerge -pv monodevelop” repeatedly, editing keywords file untill I stopped giving my masked errors.
Oh, and I had to upgrade gail like Cristian did.

Some feedbak… when installing MonoDevelop on Gentoo, I needed to add this in the keywords file:

>=dev-dotnet/gnomevfs-sharp-2.24.0 ~amd64
>=dev-dotnet/gnome-sharp-2.24.0 ~amd64
>=dev-dotnet/gtk-sharp-2.12.6 ~amd64

Also note that I had to reinstall a newer version of gail due to blocking problems with MonoDevelop (well, actually, it blocked the gtk+ package).

Thank you so much for the tutorial.

[Comment ID #7 Will Be Quoted Here]
Providing ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is NOT RECOMMENDED, you may only use it, to see which packages you have to add to package.keywords

hi! seems like a common problem on the gentoo forums but even searching through the old posts at the gentoo forum i haven’t been able to find a solution to this problem:

Code:

eth0 does not exist

now i’m using the integrated Marvell Yukon Gigabit nic integrated into my asus k8vsedx and there are 2 options when compiling the kernel under networking support -> ethernet (1000mb). one is deprecated and one is experimental. i’ve tried marking both with a “*” and neither of them have worked…

i’m using the instructions for recompiling and installing the kernel found here. i’m manually confguring so section 7.c is what im using .

any advice?

edit: i’ve also downloaded a bz2 file from syskonnect.com for the nic but i don’t know exactly where to extract it. i know i’d have to modularize it in menuconfig and probably add it to the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 file right?

[...] Installing the complete Mono environment, including the runtime, the compiler and the development environment(MonoDevelop), is no more difficult in Ubuntu 6.06 than it was in Ubuntu 5.10.(The procedure for installing Mono for Kubuntu 6.06 is also similar, but GTK and related packages are needed to install the MonoDevelop IDE, which will be a big download if GNOME is not already installed.) After adding Multiverse and the Universe repositories to the Ubuntu source list, run the following commands in a shell(or use Synaptic/Adept Package Managers): sh# sudo apt-get install mono mono-gmcs mono-gac mono-utils monodevelop [...]

if you are in a hurry to get started with monodevelop, then `ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=â€~x86 emerge monodevelop` is the fastest way. it applies to the masked dependencies also.

but the next time you try to upgrade your system, your monodevelop can even be *downgraded*, so be sure about what you are doing. the `/etc/portage/package.keywords` way would make the settings persistent – they will be there even when you upgrade in the future.

To unmask the monodevelop in Gentoo, you can use:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=â€~x86â€³ emerge -pv monodevelop
This will show you what youâ€™re about to install.
Once youâ€™re happy with it, do:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=â€~x86â€³ emerge monodevelop
to kick start the â€˜emergeâ€™ process!
