[Mono-list] Can't get a simple shared object to be used - DllNotFoundException

[Ian Norton]

Dllimport tells the loader the library name.

A large combination of things work as library loading and shared objects
differ greatly on windows and unix.

On windows, the library could be installed in the side-by-side cache or in
the same folder as your assembly etc.

If you have a file called libfoo.so then best practice would be to do
DllImport("foo")

If that still doesn't work then you may actually be missing a library
required by foo and may need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or the equivalent on
your platform.

You might also need to mess with dllmap config files too
