[Opensim-users] Mac OpenSim

[Paul Fishwick]

Tom and Justin
  I had originally tried to install a new version of mono but when I
checked the version, it always pointed to the old one (2.4….). I tried
various things including following these instructions for macports
(which I had installed):

https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration

 Then, I reinstalled MacPorts and downloaded the new version of
Mono run time. Now I get mono version 2.10.10. I then went back
to "mono OpenSim.exe" and this worked fine.

The main problem was the older Mono version, and you are right about
the locations - I think it was using the Macports version until I uninstalled
macports and installed mono. It is using, presently, /usr/bin/mono which
is now 2.10.10

I am on Lion rather than Mountain Lion and 7.4 though.  An alternative is to use the www.macports.org to install mono rather than the www.mono-project.com downloads but I am not certain if they place mono in different locations.
