I have taken a look. I think that ECO is simply broken currently. I would recommend someone get on to the developers about this.

[Frisasky]

would be fixed in next release

Eco doesn't not support Mono 6.x yet.
Maybe check the version of mono during the install ?

if you install mono from project repo theres no way to install older version

You can get it from release or archive

Eco dev here. A few users have been bitten by this. Eco < 0.9.0 uses mono 5 (correctly stated on your own site https://linuxgsm.com/lgsm/ecoserver/). Don't use the mono repo, there is a breaking change in Mono 6 and Eco wont be updated before 0.9.0. From 0.8.3 there is an install.sh to install the packages from the correct OS repository. I would prefer you just run this but if you need to support older versions you can just copy the script.

FYI Eco 0.9.0+ doesn't use Mono and will drop install.sh if it's no longer needed.

@redwyre Thank you for this update. I will use this info to address the problem.

[dgibbs64]

I have updated the website to state that mono6 does not work and that the next release of eco will resolve the problem. Also stated to make sure mono5 is installed.

I have decided not to make code changes to this as I feel it will not be worth it as when 0.9.0 is released the issue will be resolved and will no longer require mono anyway.

Holding issue until 0.9.0 is released to make dependency updates.

[dgibbs64]

Update to this I have made changes to remove mono as a dependency in eco to prevent LinuxGSM from warning about missing mono dependency.
