[Mono-list] Mono release 0.12 / RH7.3 / segmentation fault

[Tom Fransen]

Hi everybody,

I'm a newbie and I'm trying to install mono 0.12 (downloaded from base-labs)
on Red Hat 7.3. The installation seems to go fine (altough when I verify the
installation using RPM -V it indicates 5 files that have a problem something
with MD5 and a time stampe).

When I try to run the compiler or the run-time I get a segment fault.

On the mailing list there was a discussion on this for RH7.3beta (see
below). It seems the problem is still there! Does anybody had more luck in
running mono on RH7.3?

The problem seems to be with libgc6. When building mono with
"--with-gc=none" it starts up without segfaulting (although it bails out
later, when trying to compile something).

Anyway here's the output from gdb:
---
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/mono

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

488	        p = ((ElfW(Phdr) *)(((char *)(e)) + e->e_phoff));

I hope this can be of some help.
