I'm trying to get an extremely simple Windows.Forms app running. I'm 
assuming it's one of a.) bad install, b.) conflicts between versions, 
c.) incorrect command line, or d.) incorrect calling context. I've 
attached all the relevant documentation. I'm sure i'm doing something 
boneheaded. fyi, the code compiles fine and the macpack generates an 
app. build code below. i just can't run it.

My overall goal, btw, is to get a simple window up, grab the GD and 
draw my own stuff straight to there. But i've been trying for a few 
days to get this working to no avail. but I know you guys are doing it 
successfully since I see ongoing controls development.

thx in advance. heina


system:
OSX 10.3.8 Powerbook G4
both mono 1.1.4 & 1.1.6 installed (this may be causing conflicts. 1.1.6 
is active, but when i installed X from apple.com it put the dylibs in 
1.1.4 only)
running mono from an actual xterm instead of the mac terminal (is this 
necessary?)

stacktrace:
$ /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/1.1.4/bin/mono 
helloworld.exe

and yes, the dylib is actual resident there?!?!
