installing Mod_Mono and Xsp4 on CentOS 6.3

Question

I've gotten Mono 3.0.1 installed, but I'm running into tons of dependency issues trying to install Mod_Mono and Xsp4, Has anyone gotten this to work? If so what were some of the steps you had to take? Is there a central location for this?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my question and happy coding!

Enviroment: Centos 6.3 basic install Apache/2.2.15

Installation steps:

#Install required software
yum -y install httpd httpd-devel make glib2-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-devel 
giflib-devel libtiff-devel libX11-devel gcc* fontconfig-devel bison gettext bzip2  
libtool automake autoconf wget unzip

directory we will be installing mono in

mkdir -p /opt/mono 

cd /tmp

Download & extract source

wget http://download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-2.10.2.tar.bz2
wget http://download.mono-project.com/sources/xsp/xsp-2.10.2.tar.bz2
wget http://download.mono-project.com/sources/mod_mono/mod_mono-2.10.tar.bz2
wget http://download.mono-project.com/sources/libgdiplus/libgdiplus-2.10.tar.bz2

tar -xjf mono-2.10.2.tar.bz2
tar -xjf xsp-2.10.2.tar.bz2
tar -xjf mod_mono-2.10.tar.bz2
tar -xjf libgdiplus-2.10.tar.bz2

compile and install libgdiplus

cd libgdiplus-2.10
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono
make ; make install

compile and install mono

cd ../mono-2.10.2
./configure  --prefix=/opt/mono --with-libgdiplus=/opt/mono
make ; make install

Set enviroment vars(make sure to also modify ~/.bash_profile)

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mono/bin
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/mono/lib/pkgconfig

compile and install xsp

cd ../xsp-2.10.2
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono
make ; make install

compile and install mod_mono

cd ../mod_mono-2.10
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono --with-mono-prefix=/opt/mono
make ; make install


mv /etc/httpd/conf/mod_mono.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/

Answer 2

Currently working with mono and xsp4:

[root]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.7 (Final)

[root]# mono --version
Mono JIT compiler version 4.5.0

[root]# xsp4 --version
xsp4.exe 2.10.2.0

Chazt3n solution is ok, except I had to do some changes to make it work:

• I changed the mono version from 4.0 to 4.5 in file: /opt/mono/bin/mod-mono-server4
• I ran this command: cp /opt/mono/lib/mono/4.0/xsp4.exe /opt/mono/lib/mono/4.5/

Works well now, thanks.
