[Mono-list] Choosing library to compile against

[Peter Hultqvist]

I was using MonoDevelop to set up the project(3.1.0 from git repo)
But the result is the same if built from MonoDevelop or using xbuild.

I made the test program that reproduce the error.
https://github.com/hultqvist/issueTestReferences
The TestReference.sln is made using monodevelop from git, for some
reason that solution file did not work with monodevelop from ubuntu
12.10 so I made a second solution from scratch using that version of
monodevelop, TestReference2.sln.
Same result in both.

I'm not following here, I must add references for the project to compile
at all its not an option not to.

I see it's your project I'm using  but I don't think that is where the
problem lies.

>From what I can see the TestLib is correctly compiled against the local
version of Npgsql but when TestReferences is compiled(with Npgsql and
TestLib) then the npgsql references in TestLib points to the gac while
the TestReferences point to the local version and thus the error message.
