I've followed the 'uninstall' instructions at mono-project.com (<grin>it isn't *really* a third party mono - it's in fact the one and truly original</grin> and the selfupdate and update outdated has indeed now completed.

The problem that I now have is to find out which application that, probably several years and several machines ago, caused me to need to install mono framework. But that isn't a problem for this list.

What I think *is* still a question that I an usefully address to the list is this:-

Assuming that I do still need mono for whichever application it was, or that I finally get around to learning .NET from my (seemingly endless) list of self-improvement projects, I can install the macports mono, mono-basic & mono-addins packages. WIll the standard mono development packages then sit happily on top of this? Or am I *still* going to have to struggle with building a universal version from the mono-project source? (which should get rid of the problem that selfupdate is having - only finding an x86 version of the sqlite libraries?)

Regards, Andy
