Following on from my Centos updates, I’ve got to update my Ubuntu 10.4 boxes. Given ubuntu say this is bad and will break all sorts of things, I’m installing alongside the current supplied 2.4.4.
[sourcecode]export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/mono-2.10/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PATH=/opt/mono-2.10/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/opt/mono-2.10/lib:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mono-2.10/lib
get the source
wget http://download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-2.10.5.tar.bz2"> http://download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-2.10.5.tar.bz2

bunzip2 *.bz2
tar -xvf mono-2.10.5.tar
tar -xvf mono-basic-2.10.tar
cd mono-2.10.5
apt-get install bison gettext
./configure –prefix=/opt/mono-2.10
make (then go have a cup of tea – this will take a while)
make install
cd ..
cd mono-basic-2.10
./configure –prefix=/opt/mono-2.10
make
make install
[/sourcecode]done!
/opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono –version
should give you version number etc.
