Linux - Ubuntu 7.10 Install

[JoeLifesmiles]

Hello!

I am attempting to install OpenDental on a workstation running Ubuntu 7.10. However, I am at a loss as to which versions of Mono support OD.

I have copied the original structure from windows, but I am not certain which other libraries are required. libgdiplus seems to be needed but it simply isn't working.

I had this working presently through the command 'mono OpenDental.exe' before I had to restart the server but now it is consistently failing. I think I am just missing a package of libraries or something. I THINK i have all the cairo libs installed but... anyhow if anyone has any insight (or a quick easy tutorial to compile it with CURRENT MONO VERSIONS) then please let me know.

Thanks all!

Mono must be 1.2.5 or greater. Last I checked, Ubuntu repository wasn't up to 1.2.5 yet... is it now?

Also, running OD as a client on Linux is broken for now...

Running OD as a client should be functional. Derek will have to respond tomorrow on the version of Mono that we tested it against.

Alright I have the most current version of mono installed with all the libraries I could track down. I am probably still missing one, but here is my error. I copied OD from another computer to this tower (running Ubuntu 7.10 generic). I can get it to load, but when I select a patient in the schedule, the program crashes to command line.

Am I still missing a library or is this a more fundamental problem with Ubuntu's newest version? Also if someone could report in with a version of Ubuntu that got this running that would also be very helpful!

Thanks All!

Here is the most recent error from the command line:

This has been fixed in OD version 5.6. I just downloaded the beta and tested it and the problem no longer exists! Thank you Jordan and everyone who's been working on it!
