Hi Sebastian, sorry for emailing you privately before, the PTX list is 
broken... all the other mailing lists I'm on set the Reply-To: to be the 
list address, so I can just reply and it goes to the list. PTX doesn't 
do that, so I always hit reply and it goes off-list.

I am having problems compiling libsift and autopano-sift. The error I 
sent to sebastian privately before seems to be because I had an old 
version of mono installed, so I upgraded it and I am still having problems.

I downloaded all the mono RPMs from here: 
http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.0.1/fedora-2-i386/ (I got mono-all.zip 
and installed all the rpms inside of it). This is mono 1.01.

Now when I compile libsift 1.4, I get this error:

$ make
mcs /debug /unsafe /target:library /out:libsift.dll \
         ImageMap.cs KDTree.cs ScaleSpace.cs SimpleMatrix.cs 
ImageMatchModel.cs RANSAC.cs Transform.cs LoweDetector.cs 
GaussianConvolution.cs KeypointXML.cs MatchKeys.cs BondBall.cs 
AreaFilter.cs /pkg:gtk-sharp /r:System.Drawing /r:ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib
Compilation succeeded
make  -C util all
make: *** util: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [utils] Error 2

It's very strange because it says "Compilation Succeeded", and I have 
libsift.dll, but compilation took about 2 seconds, so I very much doubt 
that it actually did anything.

What am I doing wrong? How do I compile this stuff? I don't see any 
instructions for it. I'm very frustrated with the difficulty of this... 
Bruno's RPMs are great of course, but they are out of date for 
autopano-sift (he has version 1.3 and libsift 1.1).

I am using Fedora Core 2 and I have all the dependencies that are listed 
for autopano-sift (mono, gtk-sharp, gnu make and gnu bash), but it just 
will not compile.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
