Hi,
I tried running smath on mac osx using the mono binary distribution.
The application loads for a second and then crashes with the following crash information.
Any suggestions for missing dependencies or additional arguments for the application?
I'd like to debug the issue further, is there a good tutorial for mono debugging?
Thanks!

System Running: OSX 10.9.1, Mono 3.2.4,

See this forum post.

Not a solution to you problem but a work around that works for me.
