[Mono-devel-list] Hello and DllImport problem...

[Mongoose]

Hey, I'm new to the list.  I have a nice one for you
however!  =)

DllImport fails on this one certain library I have,
but works on libc, sister libraries, and generally
every other library I can find.  I'm referring to a
shared object (native, x86, ELF) on Linux 2.6 on
Debian Sid running mono 1.1.6.  

The only thing I can think of is the library provides
it's own extern "C" wrapper for it's C++ and uses a
lot of dlopen, manages other libraries, and has quite
a few dependencies.  Surely mono loads dependent
objects for the so to use!

Mono appears to load the so like all the others I've
tested. Including other C++ libraries, but using g++
symbols for invokation instead of C wrappers.  The
symbols I'm trying to bind are in the so, and aren't
bound at runtime either.  All the singletons needed
are allocated from that method I'm invoking.  Is there
a way to debug this better than using strace and nm? 
I just want to see how it fails to load the symbol
like in gdb I'm not picky.  Note this code has been
exported to several languages without a problem.  I
hope I've made some simple mistake.  =(

I can provide a link to source code for both the so
and the C# via the web and svn if requested.
