mono beta2 binary is out on macosx
::: i've just downloaded and installed mono beta2 for macosx (<a href="http://www.go-mono.com/download.html">download</a>). i wonder why haven't they announced the release of the binary package on 
<a href="http://www.go-mono.com/monologue/">monologue</a>... tho the guys have fucked up the paths since
 beta1, and uninstalling is a bit pain in the ass - at least you have to remove or relink the stuff in
 /opt/local/bin, but still there will be some trash in /opt/local/lib etc.  
<p/>
::: well since everything was installed with prefix=/opt/local you have to set 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH'<br/>
<strong>export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig</strong><br/>
now check if it's working with:<br/>
<strong>pkg-config --list-all</strong><br/>
well you have to set this variable in like <strong>bash_profile</strong> so after exiting the current 
shell it works...
oh well since 0.91 mpkg had placed some .pc-t ot /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig, you have to remove some of
them:<p/>
<strong>
clienon:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig wiking$ sudo rm glib-2.0.pc 
<br/>clienon:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig wiking$ sudo rm gmodule-2.0.pc 
<br/>clienon:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig wiking$ sudo rm mono.pc        
<br/>clienon:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig wiking$ sudo rm mint.pc 
<br/>clienon:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig wiking$ sudo rm gthread-2.0.pc 
<br/>clienon:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig wiking$ sudo rm gobject-2.0.pc</strong> 
<p/>******** NOT SURE THAT THE PART I'VE MADE ABOVE IS NEEDED *****<p/> 
::: now comes the hard part - for me it was - to remove the libraries that mono beta1 has placed in
/opt/local/lib/<br/>
for sure you have to remove the following ones:<br/>
<strong>
/opt/local/lib/libmint.0.dylib<br/>

</strong>
(others will be here later i'm sure coz /opt/local/lib is still full of beta1 libraries)
<p/>
oh yeah somehow gtk-sharp fuckes up everything it installs the dlls under /opt/local/lib/mono/gac, but
the symlinks in /opt/local/lib/mono/gtk-sharp are linkink on /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/0.95/lib/mono/gac - this makes some sense HUH?! - well at first round just copy all -sharp dir from /opt.. from /Library... (i'll figure out later how can this be fixed so after installink gtk# it puts these 
into the right dir).<p/>
::: so finally you just do an <strong>export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib</strong> and it should work
 for now :><p/>
::: this is for today... back to this 5-6 hours later... and will try with gtk# 0.93 (non-darwin port), 
hopefully that'll fix this /Library vs /opt issue
