[Mono-list] Mono compilation problems (Solaris 8, SPARC)

[Harry Sufehmi]

Thanks to Jeremy and Mono team for releasing Mono v1.0.1, I've been able 
to compile Mono and XSP webserver successfully on a Sun server running 
Solaris 8.

However, when I tried to run the XSP webserver, I got the following 
error message:

==============================
bash-2.99# /bcc/mono-1.0.1/bin/mono /usr/local/xsp-1.0.1/bin/xsp.exe 
--port 40000
xsp
Adding applications '/:.'...

in <0x00118> Mono.ASPNET.ApplicationServer:RunServer ()
in <0x0008c> (wrapper delegate-invoke) 
System.MulticastDelegate:invoke_void ()

Hit Return to stop the server.
==============================

I'm clueless at the moment as what to do now to resolve this problem.

If you have any idea about it, do please let me know.



Many thanks,
Harry
