[Mono-osx] Builds are failing due to ~ranlib missing?

[Sean Hignett]

Thanks for the help GJ,

That was a pointer in the right direction...

I had installed a new automake (1.9.6) to /usr/local, but the old 1.6.3 was
installed in /usr (default from apple).

I cleaned up all my paths, but for some reason when I ran autogen.sh it
would create bad Makefiles.  As an experiment (and learning) I walked
through the autogen.sh steps manually and ran each step by hand using what I
believed would be the right arguments based on the script.

And just to confuse things further this worked... Built, installed and
tested.

I don't have MONO_PATH set, which is what you would think would mess things
up given the script.

The ~ranlib was a side effect of an aclocal version issue I think... But all
I have are the WAGs of a newbie to explain it.

The joyous learning curve of jumping into the deep end.

Thanks again... Few take the time to help the truly ignorant :)
