[Mono-dev] Chiron.exe on mono 2.4.2.1 crashes with System.TypeLoadException

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello Jimmy,

    Where can I get the Chiron setup that you are using to reproduce
this locally?

    Thomas, can you please work with Jimmy to identify this problem?
it seems like our VMware image and his setup are conflicting.    Jimmy
is about to make a presentation at OSCon, so let us support him on this.
