[Mono-dev] compiling on solaris

[Rafael Teixeira]

Yes you need a precompiled mcs/gmcs/corlib set called the monolite.

Just do:

make get-monolite-latest

as is already instructed inside your long list of messages...

Renaming the solaris mcs or rearranging the PATH to avoid this
collision, is a step that normally only aflict those that doesn't get
monolite first.

Although it doesn't seem to have experienced your trouble (I remember
more than one Solaris person having it in the past) this guy has a
good page on the subject:

Fun,
