Can you also set the MONO_PATH environment variable to the location of the new assembly? (It's both a suggestion and a question. :) ) This is what I usually do when I'm working on Monodoc so I don't have to touch my rpm-installed version.

I don't have a full understanding of how MONO_PATH interacts with the GAC, though. Does it simply take precedence over the GAC?

You need to use gacutil to install the new Mono.Posix. Either set your

gacutil -i Mono.Posix.dll

I've been using Mono for some software I'm writing and I needed a way to

Mono.Posix.Syscall but I didn't find what I was looking for.

So I wrote some code to allow Mono.Posix.Syscall to call getpwent_r(3). See attached patches.

My problem is now, I'm having issues trying to test it.  I patched the mcs
and mono source, built it and installed it in /usr/local.  When trying to
compile a simple program to use my new code, it told me it couldn't find
it in Mono.Posix.Syscall.  I guess my default mono install is causing the
confusion.

Since I run Gentoo Linux, my next idea was to modify the Mono ebuild and
have it add my patches.  I didn't get too far with that due to some other
issues in the ebuild, which I won't get into here.

Can I have two instances of mono installed?  (say in /usr and /usr/local?)
If so, did I miss something?  Or what is the recommended way to this?
