Is Boo compiler broken?
How can I use Boo language compiler? When I try to execute any of the examples, or even
print "Hello, world!"
it gives me the error message:
BCE0011: Boo.Lang.Compiler.CompilerError: An error occurred during the execution of the step '
Boo.Lang.Compiler.Steps.EmitAssembly': 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

at Boo.Lang.Compiler.CompilerPipeline.RunStep (Boo.Lang.Compiler.CompilerContext
context, ICompilerStep step) [0x00000] --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
This very diagnostics is all I get no matter what I try to run with either booi or booc.
Is the boo compiler/mono runtime usable at all in its current state? If yes, what am I doing wrong? I installed boo in my fresh etch with
aptitude install boo
Thanks in advance.
