[Mono-list] [MonoDevelop] Error on Run - System.DllNotFoundException: hid.dll

[Walter]

Chris,

Thanks for your reply and information.
Obviously, I am new to mono and MonoDevelop and I appologize for being 
off-topic.  That was certaintly not my intent.  I do have the source code 
for the application which with I'm having difficulties and until your reply, 
I could not be clear as to the root of the problem.  I actually thought that 
there could have been some configuration issue with Mono or MonoDevelop.
I will look to understand "P/Invokes" and make the necessary modifications 
to the application code.
