I've progressed from there. I am now building mono from the source, downloaded in mono-1.1.15.tar.gz. Following the build instructions at http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono which are Unpack the Mono runtime distribution: tar xzvf mono-X.XX.tar.gz; cd mono-X.XX Then configure, compile and install: /configure --prefix=/usr/local; make; make install (slightly modified, to ./configure --prefix=/opt/mono-1.1.15; make; make install) did not create a libgdiplus.so library in /opt/mono-1.1.15/lib. I am now downloading libgdiplus-1.1.15.tar.gz, and will see if I can work out how to compile it. That might solve a lot of my problems. Any chance you could modify the instructions so they tell you you have to compile libgdiplus, and how? > > Any suggestions what to do now? > > Compile Mono from SVN and don't forget to update libgdiplus as well. > There were 100s of SWF bug fixes since the last 1.1.15 release. > > See > http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono#Building_Mono_from_the_Subversion_Repository > > > If the issue persists, try to separate a small test case and file it > at http://www.mono-project.com/Bugs. If the problem does persist (which I now hope it won't - I've obviously been running with mono- 1.1.15, but a much older libgdiplus), making a small test case is going to be hard - the application worked a couple of days ago, I added a couple of lines of code (none of which are anything to do with the GUI), and now it sometimes crashes. Thanks for all your help - now I understand why my setup is so flaky - my stupidity in following the instructions given exactly, rather than reading between the lines. -- Nikki Locke, Trumphurst Ltd.
