[Mono-devel-list] How to find a bad referenced assembly?

[Chuck Williams]

Hi all,

I've just stated working with Mono and am trying to use a Java class
library. I've converted the Java jar file into a .Net assembly using
ikvmc with no errors reported. When I try to reference the generated
assembly in Mono (by adding an assembly reference to the dll using Edit
References - .Net Assembly in MonoDevelop), I get an error that a
referenced assembly file cannot be found. However, the error only tells
me that the unfound reference is "Assembly 0" -- it does not show me the
missing file path. The same error is generated whether or not the
solution also has an explicit reference to IKVM.GNU.Classpath.dll (ikmvc
reports that it has added this reference to the generated assembly for
the Java class library). How can I discover what the missing assembly
file path is so the issue can be addressed?

I'm running MonoDevelop version 0.7 and Mono version 1.1.6 on Debian Linux.

Thanks for any help. Here is the exception reported in MonoDevelop:
