Some years ago I successfully installed Marcedit on Ubuntu 12.04 like this:


1. Download Marcedit from http://marcedit.reeset.net/downloads


2. Prerquisites are
* mono 2.10 (packet "mono-complete") siehe: 
http://mono-project.com/DistroPackages/Ubuntu
* YAZ 4 (packets "libyaz4" and "libyaz4-dev")
* libxml2 (Paket "libxml2")
* zlibc (Paket "zlibc")

So install them like this:

$ sudo apt-get install mono-complete sudo apt-get install libyaz4 
libyaz4-dev libxml2 zlibc


3. Setting the paths to alle needed files in the Linux bootloader.

$ mono linux_bootloader.exe


4. Edit file "Zoom.Net.YazSharp.dll.config" to tell Marcedit whre it 
will find YAZ.


$ vi Zoom.Net.YazSharp.dll.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
   <dllmap dll="yaz4_32.dll" target="libyaz.so" />
   <dllmap dll="yaz4_64.dll" target="libyaz.so" />
   <dllmap dll="yaz3.dll" target="libyaz.so" />
</configuration>


5. Now you can start Marcedit.

$ mono MarcEdit.exe


6. What I configured...

Menu "Tools > Preferences > Marc Editor"
* Current Template: 
/DATEN/MIK/Downloads/marcedit_linux/shadow/template/normal.mot

Menu "Tools > Preferences > Other"
* Set Temporary Path: /tmp/
* MONO Path: /usr/bin/mono


Hope this helps.

Best wishes, Michael
