[Mono-devel-list] Remoting.Corba on Mono

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,

   With the CVS version of Mono, am able to get further away with
running the clients, here is the current stack trace:

Exception: System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: Cannot create channel sink to connect to URL corbaloc:iiop:1.0 at localhost:12345/TestObject. An appropriate channel has probably not been registered.

    Servers run into this problem:

    Typically an array of bytes is being serialized, but then the
serializer invokes the same array-serialization function on a byte,
which is the above failure.

    I also ran the regression test suite with NUnit and found multiple
problems.  I guess I need to setup TAO before I can run this.

    I have uploaded my source tree with Unix makefiles here:
