[Mono-list] Mac X and latest cvs source

[Andy Satori]

Are you using Fink to do the installs or doing it manually?

What I've found is that installing the packages from Fink (something I  
personally have issues with, /sw/) works best with Mono's build  
process.   Doing it from the tarfiles seems to leave some settings not  
there.

Like you, it's been my experience that there isn't something quite  
happy with the current Mono CVS or releases, and it's been true for  
three . releases now.  I've gotten a little further than you have, but  
I'm getting a VAR_ARGS compiler error well into the source tree.
