[Mono-list] DDllImport .config file does not work

[David Abrames]

Dear Jon,

Thank you for your reply.  I ran my program as you suggested and the output
I am getting shows how mono is trying to find the shared object by mangling
the original library name.  For example it adds '.so' to the end and 'lib'
to the beginning and then tries about a dozen various combinations of this.
However none of these match the actual shared object name.

There is no indication that mono detected or did not detect the .config file
which contains the dllmap command.  Is there a method for displaying the
.config files mono is loading/reading?
