[Mono-devel-list] RE: [Remoting-corba-developer] Building 1.3.1 with mono 0.24 resu lts in the following error

[Kristopher Johnson]

The code in question is 'Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO_8859-1")'.  It
should be noted that "ISO_8859-1" is not listed in Microsoft's
documentation as a supported encoding (but it does apparently work in
Microsoft's .NET Framework.

You might try changing the initialization of
CorbaServices.DefaultEncoding to use a different encoding.  This would
not be strictly compliant with the CORBA specs, as ISO 8859-1 (aka
"Latin-1") is the official encoding, but would work as long as strings
don't require characters outside the 7-bit range.  For example, you
might try changing it to use ASCII:

        public static readonly Encoding DefaultEncoding
            = Encoding.ASCII;
