[SOLVED] Installing MONO error Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.15)(64bit)

dannylalala · 04-23-2015, 10:36 AM

So this is my first day using centos. I've messed around with Xubuntu and a tiny bit off kali linux but I'm very much a beginner when it comes to linux.

I upgraded my hosting package to vps because 1) I wanted to be able to run commands as root to install a patch for a magento install and 2) I want to install MONO so that a .NET script will run.

I have no knowledge of .net I'm rebuilding a website for someone in wordpress but they want to keep a specific section that was built with .net and I read that mono would make the script run.

So I followed the instructions on

http://www.mono-project.com/docs/get...install/linux/

which are
Run Commands

Code:

rpm --import "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF"
yum-config-manager --add-repo http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos/

Then "Run a package upgrade to upgrade existing packages to the latest available" <<I'm not sure what I'm meant to be upgrading I typed

Code:

yum update

but it says everythings up to date.

So I then tried

Code:

yum install mono-devel

and

Code:

yum install mono-complete

both give errors

mono devel errors

Code:

If it helps I'm currently in the /root directory

and it's CentOS 6.4

Can anyone explain why I'm getting these errors and what I need to do to fix?

Thanks

from the instructions that you pointed to
DID you install the EPEL repo like the instructions stated ?
see the wiki
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

also this is 6.4
cent dose NOT!!! support old versions
the ONLY!!! version of 6 that is supported is the CURRENT 6.6
upgrade NOW
before you even try to install mono ( mono will only run a small part of the Microsoft ONLY!!! .net C# code)

Code:

su -
yum --relesever=6.6 upgrade

there is NO new software for 6.4
all 6.4 software e is at least 1 year OUT OF DATE

dannylalala · 04-24-2015, 10:09 AM

Yes I installed epel but was still getting this error. I have whm so after contacting my hosting company they told me I could install with easyapache. But even now with mono installed it loads the first aspx page but then gives error:

The ConnectionString is automatically generated for AccessDataSource and hence cannot be set.

I really don't want to deal with .net it just seems like an added pain on top of the one thousand other things I'm trying to learn at the minute grrr...

Ran the code but it gives error

Code:

Command line error: no such option: --relesever

I wasn't sure if there was a typo so tried

Code:

yum --releserver=6.6 upgrade

but it just gives the same error

John VV · 04-24-2015, 02:17 PM

did you run the "help" menu or the man page to see IF it was a typo ?

Code:

su -
yum --help
-----
man yum

and yes i did make a typo

Code:

su -
------- type in your root password when asked for ----------
yum --releasever=6.6 upgrade

as to the error in the first post
there is no repo that you can access using the DEFAULT repo locations
the 6.4 files were MOVED to the historical archive "The VAULT"
this is the current PLACE HOLDER where the 6.4 files WERE ( not there anymore)

Quote:

This directory (and version of CentOS) is deprecated. For normal users,
you should use /6/ and not /6.4/ in your path. Please see this FAQ
concerning the CentOS release scheme:

https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General

If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 6.4
level, go to http://vault.centos.org/ for packages.

Please keep in mind that 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 no longer gets any updates, nor
any security fix's.

the same applies for 6.5

After running the command I get this

Code:

yum --releasever=6.6 upgrade

I think it's updated from doing that I just went to

Code:

cat etc/redhat-release

and it returns

Code:

CentOS release 6.6 (Final)

Thanks! I spoke to the person who owns the site with the .net stuff and agreed to get rid of it. So I'm not going to worry about that for now. But, could you let me know some places to start reading up about servers etc so I can get my head around it?
