[Mono-list] Problems on CentOS

[Axel Westerhold]

Hi there,

I ran into the same problem. If you take a look into your /usr/lib directory
you'll find libexif.so.12 . So there is no .9 which will make the binary
fail to install and later on to start.

The RPM's are CentOS4 RPMS and not everything in 5 is like 4. There are more
dependencies not resolving properly.

That's why I decided to get the SPEC files and Sources and recompile and
build Mono for RHEL/CentOS 5 i386 and X64.

Regards,
Axel
