Hi When I want to look at some samples on the mac side of my laptop from the sdlsdk I get an error from mono 17:10:27 200 2,527 /samples/ruby/clock/index.html 17:10:27 200 2,397 /samples/ruby/clock/assets/stylesheets/error.css 17:10:27 200 52,969 /samples/ruby/clock/assets/images/silverlight\_dusk1\_std\_1024x768.jpg 17:10:27 500 673 /samples/ruby/clock/app.xap [error generating XAP: libMonoPosixHelper.dylib] Is that something that is fixable ? I am using the mono 2.0.1 tarball but I get the same problem with trunk On windows it works when I use mono. Do I submit a bug for that with the mono team? Cheers Ivan ---

If so, make sure zlib is found. If this is a binary package, packaging bug is in order. ---

I had a mono installed with ports too that was the culprit. ---

I have both … the one i installed from the installer exactly the link you gave me Jimmy 🙂 But I also built it from svn in an attempt to make it work. AFAICT zlib is properly linked, it is advertised somewhere during the build process. Ok I will submit a bug report to mono… Thanks Ivan On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 6:54 PM, Jimmy S. \<
