[Mono-list] Choosing library to compile against

[Francisco Figueiredo Jr.]

Are you using Monodevelop?

Did you try to compile a simple test program from command line to see if it
works ok?

The way to force the compiling is to add the reference. It should work.

Try to create another simpler project and test if you can compile it. Maybe
there is some problem in the project file which isn't updating your
references?
