Sincere thanks, to both of you.

I'm not entirely sure what I need to work: this is for an application I 
have been asked to install, which has been tested against this version. 
I'll accept these failures for now, and use mono 2.8.1 with the 
application as planned. If I hear of problems, or when I get "real" users 
of mono, I'll install a much more recent version.

I'm just puzzled that it's failing its own cut-down installation test 
suite.

Could it be that mono 2.8.1 wasn't tested thoroughly against rhel5? Or is 
it more likely that rhel5 has since made changes which are causing the 
failures?

Best wishes,

Mark
