I tried installing the GTK library with the Win32 installer from 
http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net/index.html . I still get the same error. 
How do I find out which assemblies are installed and where they are?

I assume that I can use the -lib:PATH to add the library path on the 
command line, but how do I find out where this installer put the assembly? 
Is it a .dll a .lib?
