Ninject.Mvc5 does not work with mono

[mtangoo]

Wrongly posted it in ninject/Ninject#172
I have a problem well articulated here [1]. In summary is injection does not occur and Accessing controller from URL throws Error:

System.MissingMethodException
Default constructor not found for type OnlineShopping.WebUI.Controllers.ProductController

Description: HTTP 500.Error processing request.

Details: Non-web exception. Exception origin (name of application or object): mscorlib.

Here are mono information

 mono --version

My OS is Ubuntu 14.04 if that is of any help

System.NullReferenceException
Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Description: HTTP 500.Error processing request.

Details: Non-web exception. Exception origin (name of application or object): Ninject.

Updating mono to 4.3 (see link below) seem to fix the issue
