These errors mean the mcs version that compiled the dll does not match
the currently-running runtime's symbol file knowledge. Recompiling with
the matching mcs will fix it, which is to say "make clean; make; make
install" in the monodevelop folder. However, you probably don't need to
worry about these messages - they're only a problem if you need the
debugging information, and that's not likely.

In other words, you should be looking at the later error messages.

It looks kind of like you're trying to use an old monodevelop version
against a new mono version. This is a bad plan; the good plan is
obviously to get a current monodevelop version.

You may have both a new and an old MD version installed, and you're
picking up the old one. If that's the case, get rid of the old version.
