Mono ignores that part of the assembly. Thus, you can run an assembly that explicitly lists itself as 64-bit under a 32-bit runtime, and/or run an assembly that explicitly lists itself as 32-bit under a 64-bit runtime. This is currently considered to be a feature. If you want/need to run an assembly under a 32-bit environment (e.g. it needs to P/Invoke native libraries for which you only have a 32-bit version installed), you need to use a 32-bit mono. This may involve building your own mono (e.g. configure with `CFLAGS=-m32 ./configure ...`) or it may involve installing the appropriate packages on your distro (e.g. openSUSE 11.1 has a "mono-core-32bit" package that provides a `mono32` program which runs apps within a 32-bit address space). - Jon _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
