[Mono-winforms-list] erratic behavior in running winforms - redhat 7.2

[mpollack@speakeasy.net]

Hi,

I have redhat 7.2 and have some erratic behavior running the examples, sometimes they work, sometimes I get a stack trace.

The procedure for installing was the following

1. Download wine from http://primates.ximian.com/~duncan/mono-wine/sources/ and install according to http://www.nullenvoid.com/mono/wiki/index.php/MonoWinePackages

I also need to make the changes 

(NB There is a source code error after patching in line 695 where a variable
HMODULE module is declared after other statements which is not allowed in C. 
I swapped lines 694 and 695 to cure.)

2. downloaded mono from http://go-mono.com/daily/  version mono-0.25.99.2.20030810 and did ./configure --prefix=/usr/local, make, make install

3. compiled and ran a simple program, got the whole font generation stuff.  Then my winform showed up, with a message from wine, "I think you have a buggy version of libXrender.so.

4. I ran across the post on http://kt.zork.net/wine/wn20020509_122.html#6 .  I was using XFree86 4.1, I downloaded the 4.2 version of Xlib.tgz and put in the newer version of libXrender.so.1.1

5. Built some samples from http://primates.ximian.com/~duncan/mono-wine/samples/sources/ and ran them.

Now sometimes I can run the label program and get 

mono swf-label.exe
MonoWin32: Initializing WineLib
Warning: Language 'en_US' was not found, retrying without country name...
Warning: Language 'en' was not recognized, defaulting to English
err:menu:MENU_GetSysMenu failed to load system menu!

and i see the program run fine.

If I try to run the buttons example i get

mono swf-buttons.exe
MonoWin32: Initializing WineLib
Warning: Language 'en_US' was not found, retrying without country name...
Warning: Language 'en' was not recognized, defaulting to English

What is also interesting is if I try to run the label example like this

mono ./swf-label.exe I also get the same exception.

Any ideas what is going on?

Cheers and keep up the good work!
