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

[Thomas Wiest]

Hey Jimmy,
    I was just able to run Chiron.exe in the Mono 2.4.2.1 vmware image.

Here are the steps I took:
1. Download the mono 2.4.2.1 vmware image from:
        http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html

2. Download the ironruby 0.6.0 zip file inside the VM
      
http://ironruby.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=29640#DownloadId=73806

3. unzip the zip file

4. cd silverlight/bin

5. run "mono Chrion.exe"

6. Here's part of the output I got:
rupert at linux:~/Desktop/delme/silverlight/bin> mono Chiron.exe
Microsoft(R) Silverlight(TM) Development Utility. Version 1.0.0.0

Usage: Chiron [<options>]

So, now I'm wondering if the problem is something wrong with your VMware
image.

For instance;
* are you out of disk space maybe?
    check with "df -h". The main filesystem is /dev/sda1. Check the
available space.

* You might have run out of inodes (this is a problem old Mono VMs had,
but was fixed in the 2.4.2.1 vmware image).
    check with "df -i". Again check /dev/sda1. Check the "IUse%"

* You might have run out of ram in the VM.
    check with "free -m"

If you download a clean VMware image and follow the steps above, I'm
confident that Chiron.exe will run for you too.
