Summary:                    Nemerle not compiling on Ubuntu 5.10
Description: 
I wan't to use Nemerle under Ubuntu 5.10.
The 0.9.1 and 0.9.2 versions are not supported because the version of mono
in Ubuntu is too old.

The 0.9.0 version should be working; at least the make command doesn't
complain about the mono version.
But when I either try running the compiler or building from source the
compiler (and the bootsrap compiler) fails with the following message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: The runtime version supported by this application is
unavailable.
Using default runtime: v1.1.4322

** (boot/ncc.exe:13007): WARNING **: The class
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2 could not be loaded, used in
/home/viktor/projekte/nemerle/nemerle-0.9.0/boot/Nemerle.dll (token
0x0100001a)

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
set to an instance of an object
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This message is from the bootstrap compiler, but I get the same message
from the compiler which was intalled from the deb package.

Best Regards

Unfortunately it seems you version of mono was compiled with support for
.NET 1.1 only (no --with-preview was passed during compilation).

I strongly encourage you to upgrade your mono installation anyway, as
Nemerle 0.9.0 contains numerous bugs and 0.9.2 contains a load of new
features.
