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'. --->

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.
