When I browsed the extra/ directory, I saw libgdiplus in there. BUT, # yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo=extras install libgdiplus (snip) Nothing to do # yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo=centosplus install libgdiplus (snip) Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: libgdiplus x86_64 1.2.5-1.el5.centos centosplus 375 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) This was why centosplus had to be enabled to install mono. I am sure Johnny can "fix" this problem easily. :D Akemi
