The Mono team has just released Mono 2.4.2.1. This release is of particular significance because it contains support for ASP.NET MVC. That’s great news for me as I am now thoroughly addicted to MVC.
Mono 2.4.2.1 will install using the instructions in my existing tutorial, but I did have some trouble compiling the new release on my own server.
In particular, I had a SIGSEGV error while compiling Mono. I got around that by updating my system. So make sure that update your system before compilation using “apt-get upgrade”.
Secondly, I ran out of memory while compiling again. It seems that as the mono documentation gets bigger, the memory required for compilation just gets more and more. I managed to compile with 450MB of free memory this time.
So head on over to my tutorial on Installing Mono on Ubuntu and give it a go yourself.
