Open Dental Forum

I'm trying to get OD 5.1.22 to run on Ubuntu 7.10. Mono 1.2.4 came preloaded on the image I installed. I installed MySQL and copied the OpenDental directory from a working Windows workstation to /usr/local/bin.

With the command mono /usr/local/bin/opendental/OpenDental.exe

I get:

** (OpenDental.exe:6915): WARNING **: The following assembly referenced from /usr/local/bin/opendental/OpenDental.exe could not be loaded:

The assembly was not found in the Global Assembly Cache, a path listed in the MONO_PATH environment variable, or in the location of the executing assembly (/usr/local/bin/opendental/).

Any ideas? Thanks

I don't believe the 5.x ODs will run with Mono 1.2.4 you need 1.2.5, which is not in the repositories yet.

You'd need to compile Mono 1.2.5 from source, which can be a bit of a challenge...

I don't know. It's been at least a few weeks since I attempted to run on Linux. Hopefully this will get better soon as our Linux workstation comes on line for use with real patients.
