F# Async problem.
- by chrisdew
Hi, I've written a dummy http server as an exercise in F#.
I'm using Mono 2.4.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64, with MonoDevelop.
The following code fails to compile with the error:
Error FS0039: The field, constructor or member 'Spawn' is not defined (FS0039)
Could someone try this in VisualStudio please, I don't know whether this is a Mono problem, or my problem.
I have tried several Async examples from the F# book, and they also all produce similar messages about Async.* methods.
Thanks,
Chris.
