[Mono-devel-list] How to use shared library with C# on linux

[Marcus]

Notice in the warning messages:

** (LibTest.exe:23664): WARNING **: Failed to load library ./libtestlib.so 
(testlib): ./libtestlib.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory

Mono is looking for a shared lib called "libtestlib.so", whereas you have 
compiled yours to "testlib.so". For some reason, Mono wants to append "lib" 
to the front of your .so. This is really a bad idea. Rotor does it correctly 
and your program works as-is on Rotor.

I'd recommend just using Rotor, as I've been told by Miguel that Mono really 
isn't ready for production work.
