[Mono-list] ASP.NET MVC 4 on Mono 2.11.3 - View not found

[Daniel Lo Nigro]

Hi again,

I think I've narrowed this error down to the OAuth libraries included with
ASP.NET MVC 4. When I remove *Microsoft.Web.WebPages.OAuth.dll* from the
bin directory of the web application, it loads successfully. I'm guessing
that assembly is doing something odd, but looking at its source code, I
can't quite work out what.

Has anyone else gotten an ASP.NET MVC 4 project with the  "Internet
Application" working on Mono 2.11.4?
