MonoDevelop-Unity, add-in could not be started 'MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform.4.0'

Error: Error while getting object for node in path '/MonoDevelop/Core/PlatformService'

Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: could not load file or assembly 'gnome-sharp, Version=2.24.0.0 ... or one of it's dependencies....

Unity runs ok so far, just can't get MonoDevelop to load w/o this error... any idea on what is missing?

Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Cinnamon Edition

 

I bet you didn't read pinned tab: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-on-linux-release-notes-and-known-issues.350256/

"We're also not currently bundling the dependencies for MonoDevelop (and doing so is a bit complicated), so the easiest way to ensure you can run the bundled MonoDevelop is to first install the upstream MonoDevelop from the Ubuntu Software Center."

 

I actually stopped reading at 'java7-jdk' lol, but yes... missed that.

Thanks! will give it another go

also gonna try this out tomorrow: https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Visual-Studio-Code-for-Mac-Developers/Integration-with-Unity3d

 

I had the same error message on Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca (Mate). After installing MonoDevelop package from software manager Monodevelop sill kept refusing to start. This time not even the error message was shown during the failed startup routine.
To resolve it, make sure to install mono-complete package from software manager as well. Now Monodevelop is working for me.

 

thanks y'all.

got it working now, including with Visual Studio Code too... (the intellisense/autocomplete is nice there now)

 

Meanwhile you're resolving that issue with MonoDevelop, How can I tell unity that open me scripts with other editor?

 

seems like you can't code with JS in the currrent monodevelop

 

UnityScript is in my version but it seems like you're right about the JS.

 

Hey there

I also use Linux Mint 17, in my case I had this problem even after installing the package "mono-complete"

After I installed also the package "monodevelop", the message stopped appearing

 

Also, if you want to Debug properly, you'll have to be sure that package "mono-reference-assemblies-4.0" is installed, so the .NET framework is available to Mono and thus you don't have compilation errors

 

This works for me. Debian 8 "Jessie". You need to install both mono-complete and monodevelop.
