Mono Visual Basic Error

[biiiink]

I am getting an error when I try to run NodeLink.exe 

 

 

mono NodeLink.exe

 

Unhandled Exception:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'NodeLink.MainModule' threw an exception. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Follow the howto.  You didn't install all the required parts of mono.

I'm not sure what howto you're referring to.  Is it this one? http://www.mono-project.com/download/#download-lin-ubuntu

If so, I have followed the steps for Ubuntu 16.04 multiple times and continue to get the error.

io_guy created comprehensive setup documents and linked them in the pins at top of this sub-forum. They are geared towards raspiban.

 

Having been through something similar, although on a pi, this line from the linked install document was the fix:

sudo apt-get install mono-vbnc mono-complete
