[Mono-list] GAC permissions

[Nik Derewianka]

Hi,

New to linux (suse 9.2) so please bear with me:

Using mono 1.1.4 all the files in my GAC have owner/group of root.  In 
my code where i use the Npgsql connector, my code runs fine when 
executed under root but under a normal user it bombs out badly:

** (postgres.exe:9267): WARNING **: Could not find assembly Npgsql, 
references from /home/nik/postgres.exe (assemblyref_index=1)
     Major/Minor: 1,0
     Build:       5000,0
     Token:       5d8b90d52f46fda7
System error: No such file or directory


** (postgres.exe:9267): WARNING **: Missing method .ctor in assembly 
/home/nik/postgres.exe typeref index 2

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not 
set to an instance of an object


Likewise, when using the gacutil to install npgsql from a normal user i 
get errors and it mentions permissions.

So what user/group should i be setting the files in the gac to ??  If i 
change the group to 'users' with read perms then it complains about 
/etc/mono/machine.config

It just doesnt feel right that i need to be opening up all the perms on 
things - but maybe this is how linux does things... if so is there any 
recommended set of permissions  (or have i royally botched something up 
with the install ?).

Any help appreciated,
Nik
