Hi,

First, concerning the package:
It has installed seamlessly on my box, but it seems that some hardcoded  
path are in the way.
----8<--------
alita:~ ch3$ mcs --version
/usr/local/bin/mcs: line 2: /opt/local/bin/mint: No such file or  
directory
alita:~ ch3$ mint --version
dyld: mint can't open library: /opt/local/lib/libgthread-2.0.0.dylib   
(No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Trace/BPT trap
----8<----------
Since it's installed in /usr/local, shouldn't it look for dependencies  
in the same base directory?

Now for the "Mono.Framework" for OSX, I would be glad to give a hand  
for this project, at least as much as I can.
I have experience in .NET/C#, at least on Windows, C/C++ on Unix  
(mostly Linux but BSD should be ok).
My knowledge of Cocoa and other OSX frameworks is null (got a Mac for  
only 2 weeks) but I'm willing to learn.
I can also do web development (asp.net, php, ...)

Just tell me.
