If you remove the shared libraries for glib and gettext, you should be able to get a build of Mono that does not depend on shared libraries, so the installation could avoid distributing glib and gettext, it would only be a build-time dependency. I like the idea of using /usr myself. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
