[Mono-dev] Gnome.Vfs Initialization

[Buderya Roshan]

Hi,

Before we can use Gnome.Vfs APIs to read remote files, do we need to
initialize it? If so which API is used? I didn't find a suitable API in
monodoc. Any help is appreciated.

I executed the following code -

        VfsStream sr = new
VfsStream(@"smb://server/share/file.txt",FileMode.Open);

        //Read a line from remote file
        int c;
        while ((c = sr.ReadByte()) >= 0)
        {
            Console.Write((char)c);
        }

        //Close Stream
        sr.Close();

and I get the following error -

(UncTest.exe:10655): GLib-CRITICAL **: file ghash.c: line 291
(g_hash_table_insert): assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed

(UncTest.exe:10655): GLib-CRITICAL **: file ghash.c: line 291

Is initialization the issue here?

Thanks,
