They were +unset and this was the reason for the exception. With the system +locale set to something (currently LC_ALL=en_US.utf8), the application +starts up as expected. + +It seems that instead of a bug in Mono, I may have found a bug in the +default Gentoo layout which I'll pass along word of to them. In their +past releases, they have had the system locale set by default, but I +think that there may have been a recent change in that based on my +experience and their documentation at +http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml#doc_chap3_pre2 for +these systems were not even set to "C" as described there. + +I wonder if my experience here may also be an indicator about a design +problem in Open Dental(R) in terms of whether or not the application +should make an explicit check of the system locale setting before +proceeding on to execute code that will depend upon having it be set +to something. This is just a nascent thought without much +investigation, but I'm curious to get your feedback on how other +applications that depend on Mono handle such issues. + +Thanks again for your comment and I'll be sure to feed this +information back to the people at Gentoo, and it will definitely lead +to some changes in GNUdental(tm) and perhaps also Open Dental(R). _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
