[Mono-list] Complier Bug Prevents Compilation

[Charles Mason]

Hi All,

I am trying to compile Ninject a C# based Inversion of Control
container in Mono. The trunk version of the Ninject NAnt build script
currently has mono disabled, enabling it produces the below error:

      [csc] Compiling 266 files to
'/usr/src/monoSVN/ninject/trunk/bin/mono-2.0/debug/Ninject.Core.dll'.
      [csc] Exception caught by the compiler while compiling:
      [csc]    Block that caused the problem begin at:

The same error is produced building it via Mono Develop so its not
related to NAnt. This appears to be a bug in the complier itself.

>From what I can tell its having trouble with a rather harmless looking
method declaration:

    public override StrategyResult Initialize(IContext context)


I am sure internally its a lot more complicated. I would really like
to find a work around so I can get the code to compile on existing
mono installations. Is this a known problem?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
