Mono 1.2.4 will install successfully and leave behind this message:

Missing libraries:

------------

liblinc.so.1

------------

It appears your system may be unable
to run graphical apps included
in this installer.  Please fix
unresolved symbols by installing
the necessary packages for your
system.

An error like this common and usually ignored. However when I ran monodevelop these few lines suggest something more:

ERROR: Add-in scan operation failed. The Mono runtime may have encountered an error while trying to load an assembly.

In response and with great ignorance, I installed these packages: libgnome32, libgnomesupport0, libgnomeui32, gtk-sharp and gtk-sharp2 with a truckload of dependencies. The same errors showed up. I also played with the mono environment variables—no deal.

My guess is that my version of Ubuntu is not ‘new’ enough to run the latest mono and all of its Moonlight goodies. Time to test out Moonlight on OpenSUSE…
