We recently updated the versions of theses packages; having the old versions linked on the web site is a bug and I'll fix it now. > > The main problem came with the garbage collector > which happens to be 'boehm'..

If configure found libgc then it should have updated CFLAGS too.

There are shell scripts that should make compiling mono (and its dependencies) much easier. They are linked on the web site (in http://www.go-mono.com/download.html) and also in cvs in the mono/doc directory. If these scripts also fail to build mono, then I'd like to hear about it. - Dick _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
