OpenSUSE 12.3 and iFolder

Question

Anybody managed to get the most recent iFolder running on openSUSE 12.3 yet? I keep getting mono errors from what I gathered its because its complied for a different version of mono...
Anybody got any info on this? Or have a I just missed a dependency? The log below is what i get when it launches.
Code:
Missing method System.Type::op_Equality(Type,Type) in assembly /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll, referenced in assembly /usr/lib/mono/gac/gnome-sharp/2.24.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/gnome-sharp.dll

It talks about a sharp lib at top which I made sure I have but still cant get it working. Some assistance on this would be great if anybody managed it.
I did find this and try it only to get another error about CLI image.

Thats the article that says its a mono problem because it was compiled for old version.

In order to get it to *mostly* work, I had to first install the packages for iF 2.8.4 (which takes mono 2.6.7) and the *-sharp2-*-13.* versions from oS 12.2 mentioned below, and then do the one-click install for the 3.9.1.svn client (which takes mono 3.0.4 and simias 1.9.1.svn) on software.opensuse.org (which doesnt try to upgrade the *sharp2* packages.)
(Just downgrading to the old versions after you installed the 3.9.1 client didnt seem to work for some reason.)
The reason is there appears to be an issue with the *-15* version of the gnome-sharp2 libraries that come with oS 12.3:
art-sharp2-2.24.2-15.4.1.i586
gnome-sharp2-2.24.2-15.4.1.i586
gconf-sharp2-2.24.2-15.4.1.i586
gnome-vfs-sharp2-2.24.2-15.4.1.i586
If you try to use these versions, the client wont start, and if you run it from the command line to see whats going on, youll end up with this error:
Missing method System.Type::op_Equality(Type,Type) in assembly /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll, referenced in assembly /usr/lib/mono/gac/gnome-sharp/2.24.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/gnome-sharp.dll
However, if you install the *-13* versions from oS 12.2:
art-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2.i586
gnome-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2.i586
gconf-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2.i586
gnome-vfs-sharp2-2.24.2-13.1.2.i586
then things work (including the 3.9.1 client and mono 3.0.4.)
However, as soon as you install the old versions, oS notifies you of an update (opensuse-2013-339,) which installs the new versions again, which breaks the client, which sends you spiraling down in a loop of frustration and annoyance.
At least thats what Ive been dealing with yesterday and today :/
Unfortunately, it looks like you cant just stick with the 2.8.4 client on 12.3, because you are greeted with any number of different errors depending on which version of Simias you try (I tried 1.8.5. 10252, 10349, and 10363)
Ah thats not so good. But thanks for the detailed reply.
Thanks
