[Mono-list] missing assembly reference?

[Steffen Sledz]

I'm a novice to the mono system and have some understanding problems.

I've installed the mono RPM (mono-0.24-1) on my SuSE system and tried to
compile a very simple hello.cs with some extra using lines:

  using System;
  // not really needed - just to demonstrate the problem
  using System.Net;
  using System.Diagnostics;
  using System.Web;
  using System.Web.Services;

  class Hello
  {
  public static void Main(String[] args)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("mono:: is alive and well...");
       for (int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++)
         Console.WriteLine("Argument {0} = {1}", i, args[i]);
    }
  }

Compiling with mcs gives this errors:

  % mcs hello.cs
  hello.cs(5) error CS0246: The namespace `System.Web' can not be found (missing assembly reference?)
  hello.cs(6) error CS0246: The namespace `System.Web.Services' can not be found (missing assembly reference?)

If i look into the RPM these assemblies seem to be available:

  % rpm -q -l mono | grep System.Web
  /usr/lib/System.Web.Services.dll
  /usr/lib/System.Web.dll

What's wrong here? Is there some machine or system configuration needed?
