XSP Configure fails due to mono module dependancy

Question

I have mono installed in my RHEL 5 machine which is visible as follows:

which mono

/usr/local/bin/mono

mono -V

Mono JIT compiler version 2.10.2 (tarball Wed Oct 16 10:33:49 CDT 2013) Copyright (C) 2002-2011 Novell, Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com TLS: __thread SIGSEGV: altstack Notifications: epoll Architecture: amd64 Disabled: none Misc: softdebug LLVM: supported, not enabled. GC: Included Boehm (with typed GC and Parallel Mark)

When i try to run the configure script for xsp, it fails since it could not find mono.

./configure

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables MONO_MODULE_CFLAGS and MONO_MODULE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I tried to resolve this by adding the mono.pc file path to PKG_CONFIG_PATH. export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

But the issue didn't get resolved and i got the same error nonetheless.

Please help me in finding a resolution for this issue.

Answer 1

Check the correct location of pkgconfig in your mono installation.I was running with the same error until i found that it was under

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/3.4.0/lib/pkgconfig/

Answer 2

Try following this guide: Setting up a Build Environment (with MONO_PREFIX=/usr/local and forget about the gnome parts).
