KeePass / Mono under Yosemite does not work

Question

I installed KeePass as described here but it KeePass does not start - Activity Monitor tells me that Mono is not responding. I have never used KeePass before (if this is relevant).

I am using Yosemite

I am not sure if this a Mono or a KeePass issue, but I also tried Mono 3.10 version and the same happened.

Any experiences with KeePass / Mono under Yosemite or ideas how I could troubleshoot what is happening?

I know about KeePassX - but the consensus seems to be that KeePass is the better option?

EDIT:

I just ran keeps from the command line, and got the following output (no idea what it means...):

The problem can be solved by installing a new version of mono which fixes this issue, as explained here:

Try installing this mono 3.10 version and forcing a rebuild of your application.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wrjnv7p8zj1rh5u/MonoFramework-MDK-3.10.0.26.macos10.xamarin.x86.pkg?dl=0

One of the developers on the mono team worked hard to track down and fix this issue. Hopefully, this should be the end of the GDI issues for Xamarin.Mac users.

Thanks, -- Chris H

I had the same problem. Neither the 3.10 nor the 3.8 versions of Mono would work for me. The 2.10, however, did! You can download it here: http://download.mono-project.com/archive/2.10.12/macos-10-x86/

Just ran into this problem and tried the current version of mono, 4.0.5.1, but it didn't work, so I ran the uninstall script.

mono 3.10.0.26 sounded promising but I wanted to download from the developers. Closest version found was 3.10.0.31, which worked!
