[Mono-list] MonoDevelop crashes on startup

[Willem.Smit@sanlam.co.za]

Hey guys
MonoDevelop was running fine, and is still running fine on my home desk=
top,
but after doing a emerge world on my gentoo box at work MD bungs out on=

startup. This morning when I got here MD 0.3 crashed, so I thought I ha=
ve
to upgrade to beta 2 and MD 0.4 anywayz so I didn't worry about it, but=

after the upgrade MD 0.4 crashes with the same error.

Here's the stacktrace:
Loading error, please reinstall :
System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type=

initializer for MonoDevelop.Core.Services.ServiceManager --->

MonoDevelop.SharpDevelopMain:Main (string[])

The above is with mono beta 2, but like  I said it happened on beta 1 a=
s
well after my emerge world. It obviously installed some punkass package=

that stuffs everything up.

I couldn't find any bugs or posts about this problem, so I posted a bug=
 in
bugzilla.
Please let me know if any of you has had the same problem and if you co=
uld
fix it somehow ?
Thanx
Willem Smit
