I saw something like this in beta2, and it seems like a bug in the mono
build (or the osx port). Essentially mono can't locate the native shared
library that's used by gtk-sharp.dll as despite being built with
prefix=/opt/local, mono searches for native shared libraries in "",
"/usr/local/lib", "/lib", "/usr/lib" and ".".

The workaround for me was to set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
to point to the directory containing libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib (dylibs are
native shared libraries), and then run the program.

% mcs helloworld.cs -L /opt/local/lib/mono/gtk-sharp -r gtk-sharp.dll -r
glib-sharp.dll
Compilation succeeded
% unsetenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
% mono helloworld.exe

Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll
in <0x000dc> (wrapper managed-to-native) Gtk.Application:gtk_init
(int&,intptr&)
in <0x0004c> Gtk.Application:Init ()
in <0x0001c> Hello:Main ()

% setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/local/lib
% mono helloworld.exe
(it works)

I haven't tried to see if this is still required in beta3.

Cheers,

Chris
