Re: [Solved] MonoDevelop throws a exception and doesn't open

Seems to be some problem with your timezone. What timezone are you using?

According to https://github.com/mosa/Mono-Class-Libr … oneInfo.cs, the timezone file size should be less than 16384 bytes.

Also, please edit your post and use code tags instead of quote tags.

Re: [Solved] MonoDevelop throws a exception and doesn't open

So. I deleted the /etc/localtime file and make the symbolic link again. Now the problem is solved.

Here are the utliized commands:

# rm /etc/localtime
# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo //change the zone for your region
