[Mono-list] Mono 2.4: "The assembly was not found in the Global Assembly Cache"

[Michael B. Trausch]

Hello,

I am attempting to setup Mono 2.4 on a server so that I can use ASP.NET
applications on it.  The instructions on the web page state that a
standard "./configure && make && make install"-type process can be
used, which makes sense, so this is what I have done.

However, when I go to test the installation, I get:

Debian Lenny:[0-43/1944-0]:mono-2.4> gacutil -l

** (/usr/local/lib/mono/2.0/gacutil.exe:32619): WARNING **: The

Version:    2.0.0.0 Public Key: 0738eb9f132ed756
The assembly was not found in the Global Assembly Cache, a path listed
in the MONO_PATH environment variable, or in the location of the
executing assembly (/usr/local/lib/mono/2.0/).

When I check the GAC, the assembly is indeed present:

/usr/local/lib/mono/gac/Mono.Security/2.0.0.0__0738eb9f132ed756/Mono.Security.dll.mdb

Any idea why Mono 2.4 isn't finding these assemblies?
