[Mono-dev] MonoDevelop failure

[Kenneth D. Weinert]

Here's a followup:

When I remove the config directory, I get some messages about a problem
with gtk-sharp:

Assembly not found: gtk-sharp, Version=2.12.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f
WARNING: [MonoDevelop.Components,1.0.0] Could not load some add-in
assemblies: Could not load file or assembly 'gtk-sharp,
Version=2.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f' or
one of its dependencies.

So, obviously, I check for gtk-sharp on my system:

/usr/lib/mono/gac/gtk-sharp
/usr/lib/mono/gac/policy.2.10.gtk-sharp
/usr/lib/mono/gac/policy.2.4.gtk-sharp
/usr/lib/mono/gac/policy.2.6.gtk-sharp
/usr/lib/mono/gac/policy.2.8.gtk-sharp
/usr/lib/mono/gac/gtk-sharp/2.12.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f
/usr/lib/mono/gac/gtk-sharp/2.12.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/gtk-sharp.dll
/usr/lib/mono/gac/gtk-sharp/2.12.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/gtk-sharp.dll.config
/usr/lib/mono/gac/policy.2.10.gtk-sharp/0.0.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f
/usr/lib/mono/gac/policy.2.10.gtk-sharp/0.0.0.0__35e10195dab3c99f/policy.2.10.config

I'm not real sure about the details, but should there be a
.../policy.2.12.gtk-sharp/... in that list?

When I look in Synaptic, it says I have gtk-sharp-2.12 installed, but
all the description text still says gtk-2.10.

To my untrained eye it appears as if I *do* have gtk-sharp-2.12
installed but it's not being found.

Any further hints/tips/RTFMs for me?

Thanks.
