[Mono-list] Windows.Forms not found

[Maser, Dan]

  My guess is that there's a problem with your mono installation.  Here
are things to check:

1. My mono is installed in /usr/local/lib/mono.  Is the path
"/usr/local/lib" in your /etc/ld.so.conf file or your user
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable?

2. I have the System.Windows.Forms.dll in a few places under the
/usr/local/lib, do you?
	mono/1.0/System.Windows.Forms.dll
	mono/2.0/System.Windows.Forms.dll
	
mono/gac/System.Windows.Forms/1.0.5000..../System.Windows.Forms.dll
	
mono/gac/System.Windows.Forms/2.0.0.0_..../System.Windows.Forms.dll


  If you have those files my next guess is that your lib path doesn't
include the place where your mono dlls are.

Thanks. It doesn't seem to make any difference if you add .dll. Let me 
know if you think of something.
