FC3: Mono installation

[tyfius]

Since the Mono Project hasn't released any repository for FC3, I spend the last weeks trying to find a way to install them. I almost gave up on it untill I discovered http://xplib.de/mono.php.
Just download all the RPMS to a new dir (I named it monorpms)

# su
# cd monorpms
# rpm -ivh *.rpm

If for any reason monodoc give's a problem, download it source rpm

# su
# rpmbuild --rebuild monodoc-1.0.4-2.fc3.mh.src.rpm
# rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/monodoc-1.0.4-2.fc3.mh.i386.rpm

So I've downloaded all the files from that link and used rpm -Uy *.rpm command from console to install all the files. It was good. Now I can use mono framework. But i have a litttle problem. I can run Monodevelop only as a root. If i try to start Monodevelop as an ordinary user, it displays on the windows list, then quits. My question is : only root can run monodevelop ? Second : There is no graphical GTK# Window designer ? So I must make GUIs from code ?

Thanks for the help !

I run monodevelop as user, just select it from the programming menu I have in my gnome start toolbar.
Maybe you can try to set the chown and chgrp permissions on the folder/files where it has installed intself.

As for the GUI's, I can recommand Glade. I think it's version 2 already. It's a very to use wysiwyg interface.

using the yum repository for Mono 1.0.6 (stable),

add the following lines to your /etc/yum.conf:

[mono-stable]
name=Mono - Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
baseurl=http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.0.6/fedora-3-i386/ gpgcheck=0

#yum install Mono*
