So /usr/bin/mcs is a left-over which has not correctly been removed when mono-devel was upgraded from 1.0 to 2.0? One of the reasons, why I noticed/filed this bug is, that a software I maintain, checks for /usr/bin/mcs in ./configure, and if it finds that, it enables a mono addin. Obviously the build fails later on. Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
