I had downloaded the preinstalled Mono development suite, VMWare virtual machine, from their web site. I would expect this to show case, the best set of Mono tools and demo applications that exist. But no, pjr2make fails as described. I also tried the latest downloadable package for Mac OS X; with lots of effort I was able to compile Lucene, but along the way many limitations of the Mono environment became apparent. For non Microsoft.NET platforms, it seems Java Lucene offers a better solution.

The Debian maintainers are still packaging an ancient prj2make in place of the current one. Robert
