Mono 3.2.3 and Fedora 19 and a KeePass fix

If anyone is interested in installing Mono 3.2.3 on Fedora 19, here is what I did.  Note that if something breaks and your favorite app quits working then it’s all on you 😉

I found that someone out there had built Mono 3.2.3 RPMS for Fedora and created a repository.  However, since I was unable to find a .repo file, I went ahead and created this one:

[mono_linet]
name=Mono 3 repository
baseurl=http://yum.linet.dk/opensource/fedora-19-x86_64/RPMS/
enable=1
gpgcheck=0

Once this is done, do a yum update and you should be good to go.

However, I noticed I could no longer run KeePass on my system.  I had followed the instructions found here and use KeePass on my computer, phone, and tablet.  With Mono 3.2.3 KeePass wouldn’t work.  Simple fix is to change to /usr/lib and run the following command:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libgdiplus.so libgdiplus.so

This should make KeePass run again.  Note you’ll get some errors on close if you run it from a console.  These appear to be harmless.
