[Mono-winforms-list] An annoying problem

[Jonathan S. Chambers]

I posted this and Miguel answered previously with a workaround (I don't
know about a fix). I put Miguel's answer below.

I had the exact same issue, I had to edit my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to
/usr/X11R6/lib to make it work.

Am not sure why this is happening, I think the intention was to not
depend on the "-devel" packages which are the ones that ship the
version-less .so

In this process, someone forgot to test the code.

Subject: [Mono-winforms-list] An annoying problem

Hi,

Whenever I try to run a program compiled against MWF, I keep getting the
same error

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception
was thrown by the initializer for System.Windows.Forms.XplatUI --->
System.DllNotFoundException: libX11.so.6.2

I know this has come up before and from what I remember when Miguel
flagged it up was that there was a problem within XplatUI.

Is there a work around or will XplatUI be getting fixed sometime in the
not too distant future?

TTFN

Paul
